Etna Lava Tour through the center of Catania Italy — #1
1/6

Overview of the tour in Catania

We are in front of the church of San Nicolò, from where we start a walk in which the protagonist will be the Etna volcano.

First, we will enter the courtyard of the Benedictine monastery of Catania. This historic place was one of the first to be damaged by the eruption of 1669, which left important traces that can still be seen today, such as huge blocks of lava several meters high.

We will continue our tour descending towards the Roman Theater while I tell you the story of the Amenano River. This river, nowadays, is largely subway.

From this point we will head towards the Ursino Castle, a fortress that was almost completely surrounded by the eruption. There we will discover how this impressive natural phenomenon left its mark on the architecture of the city.

If you take the tour in the morning, we will arrive at the hostel A putia dell'Ostello, where we will show you a hidden gem inside its small bar. In case you take the tour in the afternoon, I will take you to the Gammazita Well, linked to the eruption of 1669 and with an interesting legend that we will tell you during the activity.

This activity includes:

  • Greek - Roman theatre
  • Castello Ursino
  • Gammazita
  • Erupción del 1669
  • Hiking Guide Mirco
  • Etna and its relation with Catania

On arrival

At the appointed time we will meet in front of the church of San Nicolò, which is in Piazza Dante. I'll be in front of the church, where the stairs are. It's easy to recognize me: I have blond hair and blue eyes, I look like a German, but I'm Italian!

Things to note

There is no internal visit to each monument, but only from the outside.

Free Cancellation

Free Cancellation up to 24 hours before the activity starts. Late cancellation or your non-arrival is not refundable.
