Description

Depart from Catania for a full-day tour exploring some of the most fascinating inland destinations of Sicily. The tour offers two alternative options:

Option 1: Caltagirone
Transfer and guided visit of the city, world-famous for its ceramic production and the impressive Staircase of Santa Maria del Monte. Walk through the historic center among artisan workshops and ceramic shops, admiring decorated tiles, sculptures, and traditional artworks. The visit includes the Capuchin Convent and the Church of San Giacomo Apostolo, patron saint of the city.

Option 2: Morgantina Archaeological Park
Discover one of Sicily’s hidden archaeological gems, a rare example of an ancient city abandoned in the 1st century AD. Explore the Hellenistic public area with its theatre, residential buildings, and thermal baths, among the earliest known in Sicily, in a site still partly under excavation.

Before heading to Piazza Armerina, there will be a free packed lunch break.

Piazza Armerina
Free visit of the Villa Romana del Casale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its extraordinary Roman mosaics depicting daily life, mythological scenes, and sporting activities.

Return to Catania in the late afternoon.
