Tour Catania in an Ape<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Make sightseeing fun for all by renting a self-drive three-wheeled Ape Calessino to explore Catania\u2019s historic centre. The iconic open-sided vehicles are the perfect way to navigate the tricky narrow alleyways of the city. Prices from \u20ac90 for a half-day. Fill the other half of your day with a guided street food tour of Catania, including the city\u2019s vibrant fish market and, in between bites of arancini<\/em> and cannoli<\/em>, the city\u2019s main cultural sights.<\/p>\n

With steps down to the sea and terrace views over the tiny fishing port of Pozzillo on Sicily\u2019s east coast, Terrazza sul Mare is perfectly placed for visiting Catania and Taormina. One week in April from \u00a31057 (sleeps 4).<\/p>\n

Caves and canyons<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For active families, the UNESCO World Heritage Necropolis of Pantalica in south east Sicily is a history lesson in the great outdoors. The lush green canyon is home to around 5,000 ancient burial chambers dating back to between the 7th<\/sup> and 13th<\/sup> centuries BC.\u00a0 The gorge also provides an excellent location for an enjoyable walk through an area of great natural beauty.<\/p>\n
