Your journey begins at Piazza Duomo, the heart of the city. Here, you can admire Catania Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Agatha, the city's patron saint. The Elephant Fountain, a symbol of Catania, is another sight not to be missed. A short stroll away lies the Pescheria Market, known for its bustling stalls where locals procure fresh seafood and produce.

The tour continues to the Greek-Roman Theatre, a well-preserved example of Catania’s rich archaeological heritage. As you learn about the city’s history and the significance of this ancient structure, take in the views of Mount Etna in the distance. Your exploration then leads you to Piazza Stesicoro, home to the remains of the Roman Amphitheatre, once one of the largest in the Roman Empire. Here, your guide will share insights into its history and architecture.

Afterwards, enjoy some free time to visit Catania at your own pace. Meet back at the designated meeting point and board the coach for the return journey to Taormina. This 5-hour tour offers a glimpse of Catania's cultural and historical charm.
