Catania is the second biggest and most important town in Sicily. It extends between the Ionian Sea and the volcano Etna, the biggest European volcano still active today, which Catania is 28 Km away from.
What is fascinating in Catania is the great variety of landscapes which you can discover, as soon as you move from the town centre. You can find the Piana di Catania to the South, the richest and most fruitful area of the province.
It includes river Simeto, whose mouth has been declared Nature Oasis. Towards the West stands Mount Etna, the biggest volcano in Europe, that is a real nature and cultural heritage.
