Day tours include Mount Etna Lava Cave and Light Trek Small Group Tour Catania, Mount Etna and Alcantara Gorges Full Day Tour with Lunch Catania, Mount Etna Guided Quad Bike Tour Catania and Cyclops Coast Sailing Tour with Snorkelling from Catania.

Guests usually start with the airport transfer and add a tour or two once they have seen the city; both are booked in the same WhatsApp conversation, and the second booking takes a minute.
Getting to Catania: the airports
Catania Fontanarossa Airport (CTA) is on the plain about 5 km south-west of the city centre, about 55 km from Taormina, 65 km from Syracuse and roughly 50 km from the Etna slopes at Rifugio Sapienza.
The airport has a shuttle bus to the centre and the station in about 20 minutes, and a train station on the coast line, which suits one traveller with light luggage heading for the old town; for Taormina, Etna, Syracuse or a hotel with luggage and a family, a private car to the door is simpler and much less stressful.
Where to stay in Catania
The areas travellers ask us about most: Syracuse and Ortigia, the historic centre around Piazza del Duomo, Via Etnea, the Pescheria fish market district, the port and Catania Centrale station and Aci Castello and Aci Trezza.
The choice of area changes the drive from the airport and the order of a day tour, not the price of either; send the hotel name on WhatsApp and the desk plans around it.
What to see in Catania
The places most visitors come for: Mount Etna, Taormina's Greek theatre, the Cyclops Islands at Aci Trezza, Piazza del Duomo and the Elephant Fountain, the Cathedral of Sant'Agata, the Pescheria fish market and Via dei Crociferi.
Our day tours cover most of them with a guide and a vehicle; the pages of Mount Etna Lava Cave and Light Trek Small Group Tour Catania, Mount Etna and Alcantara Gorges Full Day Tour with Lunch Catania and Mount Etna Guided Quad Bike Tour Catania say exactly what each includes.
What to eat in Catania
Worth trying: granita with brioche, fresh grilled fish from the market, cannoli with sweet ricotta, cipollina and scacce filled focaccia and arancini rice balls. Ask the driver or guide where they eat themselves; halal options and family restaurants are easy to find, and the desk suggests places near your hotel if you land late.
When to go
April to June and September to October are the most pleasant; July and August are very hot and crowded in Taormina and Giardini Naxos, and Etna can be cool and windy at any season; eruptions can occasionally close the airport for a short time, so keep a margin before a flight.
Good to know before you arrive
Send your flight number and the exact address; Taormina and Ortigia are limited traffic zones, so the driver stops at the nearest gate and porters or a short walk cover the rest, and for Etna and the Aeolian Islands tell us the departure time so we plan the drive.
Our WhatsApp desk answers day and night in Arabic and English, confirms each booking in writing and stays reachable for the whole trip.

Catania Fontanarossa Airport (CTA) is on the plain about 5 km south-west of the city centre, about 55 km from Taormina, 65 km from Syracuse and roughly 50 km from the Etna slopes at Rifugio Sapienza. Our private transfer meets you at arrivals with a name board, tracks your flight and takes you door to door at a fixed price for the whole vehicle; the transfer pages list every route.
Is there public transport from the airport to Catania?
The airport has a shuttle bus to the centre and the station in about 20 minutes, and a train station on the coast line, which suits one traveller with light luggage heading for the old town; for Taormina, Etna, Syracuse or a hotel with luggage and a family, a private car to the door is simpler and much less stressful. With luggage, a family or a late flight, the private car is the simpler choice.

Each page says whether the day is private or small-group, what it includes and how long it lasts.
Are the tours private or in a group?
Both exist, and each tour page says which. A private tour has a vehicle and guide for your party alone; the desk can make most group tours private on request.

Yes - every price is agreed in writing on WhatsApp before you travel and does not change on the day.
