WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PERSON AS A GUIDE!!! He could not converse fluently in English. We walked the 1st half of the trip to get to his car. Likely didn't want to pay for parking!! His car was not clean and tidy. Then he drove us to two the Castle and rocks. Took us to a restaurant and invited himself for lunch. The seafood was terrible and we paid for his meal. We asked him to drop us off at the shopping district we started in and he took us far North away from our ship. We saw better sights and had more fun without him. Good ridden!!

3 hoursWe will visit the imposing castle of Aci, which with medieval origins stands on the Catania coast surrounded by the sea. Inside there is a civic museum that can be visited before reaching the top.
2 hoursAcitrezza
The land of the Malavoglia, a place of Sicilian history and culture where it will be possible to enjoy a walk in front of the sea and the fabulous stacks. It is the place where, according to tradition, the ninth canto of Homer's Odyssey is set, in which Ulysses clashes with Polyphemus, blinding him after getting him drunk. In doing so he manages to escape from the cave where he had been trapped with his companions. The Cyclops, blind and angry, hurls enormous boulders at the ships of the fleeing Greeks which, according to tradition, became the Islands of the Cyclops.
