How to get out Catania
Visit Mount Etna - an eerie volcanic landscape, with solidifed "rivers" of lava. The top is 3,323 m high, so be prepared for the cold, even in summer. One bus a day runs at about 8:30AM from near the railway station via Nicolosi to the Rifugio Sapienza, 1,400 m below the summit.
You could also have a visit along the coast for Acicastello (a nice medieval castle built on a giant rock, over the see) or Acitrezza, a little fisherman village well known for its giant rocks lying in the sea, supposed to be the ones thrown by the Cyclops at Ulysses. You will also find good restaurants and a great port. You could have a look for Acireale, a town known for the greatest carnival of Sicilia (in february).
Within a day, you can easily reach Taormina, Syracuse, Ragusa, Piazza Armerina, Messina, Cefalu or Enna.
