Catania’s Streets & Local Food

After departing from the pier, you will soon arrive in the center of Catania, which is particularly vibrant around the main outdoor market. While meandering through the countless market stalls, you will observe a slice of life like no other. Locals will be ordering fresh produce and seafood, merchants will be urging passersby to sample their goods, and the aromas of ground spices will be wafting through the air. With your appetite sufficiently whetted, you will have the opportunity to sample some freshly fried fish and traditional arancini, which are stuffed deep-fried rice balls. Continuing on up the coast, you will soon reach Aci Castello, a fishing village named for the remains of its Norman castle. Stop at a renowed bar for typical aperitif and relax in front of the sea.
