The Journey
Catania

Aci Castello
Discover Aci Castello, a picturesque coastal town dominated by its imposing Norman Castle perched dramatically on a basalt rock promontory overlooking the Ionian Sea. Capture breathtaking panoramic views of the Riviera dei Ciclopi and immerse yourself in the history of this ancient fortress, a strategic stronghold that has witnessed centuries of Sicilian history.
