Catania and Lunch at an Historic Garden

Catania cultural tour Guided walking tour in Catania during which you will admire the old town center and its beautiful Baroque façades listed by Unesco, in which the gray volcanic stone is alternated with white limestone with a very striking color effect. You will also discover the traces of the Greek city, the monumental ruins of the Roman buildings, and imagine the appearance of the city in the Middle Ages through the visit of the monuments that were built in that period.

Lunch at a private historic garden On the slopes of Etna, rare sub-tropical plants integrate harmoniously with the flora of Mediterranean woodland, giving birth to the unique landscape of a private historic garden. The garden, created by a nobleman from Catania, hosts plants from all over the world, and it is now under the care of the Sicilian Region Cultural Heritage Department. Here, you'll be led by the current owners around unexpected corners, where amazing scenic effects are revealed with a variety of lights and shadows. Surrounded by luxuriant plants and the lava rocks, you will then enjoy an unforgettable lunch with ancient recipes handed down from one generation to another by the cooks of this important family from Catania.
