房源位置

Catania is nowadays one of the most vibrant cities in Italy and offers a variety of entertaining activities. It is very much a 24 hour town and thanks to its local traditional shops and its traditional markets, which still compete with the big chains, as well as being a popular destination for university students.
One of the coolest areas for evening entertainment is without a doubt, the “Golden block” in the historic part of town, situated between Piazza Duomo, Piazza Manganelli and Piazza Teatro Massimo. Amongst the baroque architecture, you will find night clubs, always very busy, which during the summer time make use of the outdoor spaces and transform themselves into the famous “Caffe’ Concerto”, a mix of music, shows and multimedia events. The “Caffe’ Concerto” were inaugurated 20 years ago by the local council in collaboration with the local commercial association and are responsible for birth of the “MOVIDA” in the historic centre. As you can see, the entertaining options are never-ending, there are theatres, disco clubs, wine bars and many other shops ready to satisfy any need and desire, whether it be in Arab, Japanese, Irish or Brazilian Style! Many places also offer live music, such as Glamour, Via Carcaci, 11.

THE SEA
Between the lava rocks and the golden shores the beautiful long walk called “u passiaturi” is situated. It stretches from piazza dei Martiri, where you can see the obelisk of S. Agatha treading on the snake, to the Central Station. If you prefer the sand, you can go South, to the Harbour. From via Dusmet, the road which runs along the Coast and skirts the harbour, you reach piazza Borsellino. Here you find the Playa, kilometres of golden sandy shore stretching beyond the Oasi del Simeto Nature Reserve to the Agnone, at the borders of the city of Lentini.The Playa of Catania has got three public, free beaches. The first beach is situated just past the harbour. From here the bathing establishments, “i Lidi”, open up, offering entertainment to all different ages and tastes. Many establishments turn into Aperitive Bar, Disco Bar.
If you want to dive from the rocks and have a swim in the open sea, you have to go North, towards the Central Station.
From piazza Europa, where you can find the public solarium and the private bathing establishments, you can walk along the promenade, viale Ruggero di Lauria, to the little fishermen suburb of San Giovanni Li Cuti, so called for its dark beach, made of “Cuti Lisci”, the different sized smooth lava stones. But if you keep going on you’ll find the suburb of Ognina, il Borgo di Ognina, with its little harbour and the Church, consecrated to the Young Virgin Mary, where on September the 8th a characteristic fest takes place, involving fishermen and devotees. From the suburb of Ognina you enter the residential neighbourhood called “the Cliff”, “La Scogliera”, with further bathing establishments, which turn into Aperitive Bar and Disco Bar at night. The Cliff, La Scogliera, culminates in the little town of Acicastello, with its medieval castle, based on an ancient lava cliff emerging from the sea depths.
The rocky coastline stretches along the Aci Riviera for about 30 km all the way to Fiumefreddo, from where you can get a glimpse of Taormina
