Beaches and coast near Catania
The Ionian coast around Catania offers a great mix of beaches within easy reach of the apartment. To the south, the long sandy shore of the Playa di Catania and La Plaia is ideal for families and easy swimming, with lidos and beach bars in summer.
To the north lies the dramatic Riviera dei Ciclopi: Aci Trezza with its volcanic faraglioni (the legendary rocks of the Cyclops), Aci Castello with its lava-stone castle, and rocky coves with crystal-clear water. Most spots are 15–30 minutes away by car, perfect for a half-day by the sea between sightseeing.
