Acireale and its surroundings have a natural vocation to hospitality, thanks to the mild climate throughout the year together with lots of easy links. The town of Acireale - famous for its Carnival - offers Thermes, which exploit the sulphurous mud baths deriving from the volcano, a fascinating historical town centre in late baroque style (worth a visit the library-gallery Zelantea the Basilica of S. Sebastian, The Opera dei Pupi Museum). Not to forget the full charm sacred and profane traditional events of the town. Acireale rises on a volcanic cliff, the Timpa, a nature reservoir going down to the sea, through a striking pathway from the town centre to the cliffs.


The Sea The sea landscape at the bottom of Mount Etna, extending from the tourist harbour of Riposto to the “Faraglioni” of Acitrezza, is a picture that perfectly mirrors the charm of a volcanic cliff joining the sea.


Mount Etna Only 15 km far from Acireale, Mount Etna National Park: 59.000 hectares offering a characteristic view varying from seaside to lemon groves, from vineyards to villages, suddenly to woods, and then the lunar landscape of lava flows and craters. A striking view from wherever you gaze.
