Top Catania On the Water

Delve into ancient Roman and Greek history on a visit to both Neapolis Archaeological Park and Ortygia Island in Syracuse. Neapolis is home to some of Syracuse's most notable ruins, including a massive Greek amphitheater that is still used for performances during the summer months. Marvel at age-old quarries and a Roman amphitheater where gladiators fought each other to the death. Afterward, head over to Ortygia Island―a small island that serves as Syracuse's historic center―and nearby Noto, a stunning town filled with exquisite, photo-worthy baroque architecture.

See the sights of Catania from the water during a private day-long kayak tour. Bookable for all levels of kayaking ability, the tour is tailored to you; choose from a calm sea water excursion and admire the coastline as you paddle, or take to the river for more thrills on an adrenaline-packed route. Lunch and bottled water are included, with hotel pickup available for added convenience.

Located on the island of Sicily, Mt Etna is the tallest active volcano in Europe. Explore the different aspects of the dynamic mountain on this active tour from Catania which includes hiking up to the inner craters and (safely) entering a lava cave. See ancient lava flows, learn about the geological history of the volcano, and admire panoramic views of eastern Sicily.
