Ionian Coast
Volcano Views
Mt Etna's spellbinding form dominates this stretch of coast from every imaginable angle,
looming on the horizon at the end of Catania's busy boulevards, peeking through the stage
at Taormina's Greek theatre, providing four-season outdoor recreation and feeding local ag-
riculture with its fertile volcanic soil.
Fabulous Festivals
This place really knows how to throw a party. Taormina buzzes all summer long with
world-class festivals of film, theatre, music and dance, while winter revellers are lured into
the streets by Acireale's Carnevale and Catania's massive Festa di Sant'Agata.
Markets & Vineyards
Foodies will find plenty to love in this corner of Sicily, from the acclaimed Etna DOC wine
to Catania's colourful fish and produce markets.
