All about the trip
Join us in the coastal city of Catania known for its rugged landscape of past volcanic eruptions. Walkthrough streets formed and paved by lava, taste the salty air on your tongue as you enjoy this lovely Catania food tour. This region is known for its fresh fish that is unparalleled to any other city on the island.
Wake up with the city of Catania on this morning tour! Enjoy a relaxing 3-hour walking tour around the local fish market and hidden gems in the city center. This tour is the best way to try a wide variety of authentic street food without the large tourist crowds. We will begin with an introduction about the city’s vast history which is rooted in ancient culture. Next, you will receive your “food passport” a souvenir that lists all the samples you will try on the tour. Let this passport guide you through Catania with a conveniently located map on the back. After this, we will make our way to the Catania fish market; known for its incredible selection of fresh fish. Interact with the exuberant finish mongers as they try to sell you their catch of the day! Here you will try delicacies such as “arancini” fried rice balls stuffed with cheese. Or if you prefer fish, feast on the spicy anchovies caught in the bay. At each food stop, our guide will explain the history behind each recipe you experience.
From the market, we will journey to the Villa Pacina, where the elderly gathers every morning to gossip and play cards. They are often eager for a chat with a traveler; Sicilians love to share their hospitality! Next, we will have a quick look at the domineering fortress of Castello Ursino. To finish, we will enjoy a seasonal treat of either fresh granita with brioche or the delicate minnuzza cake.
Please join us and let’s break bread together!
