About Aci Castello
Aci Castello pairs a Norman castle built on a black lava outcrop with the jagged Faraglioni sea stacks just offshore, making it one of the most compact stretches of coastline in Sicily for a half-day outing. From the water, the scale of the basalt cliffs and the marine life of the Catania Gulf come into focus — the Catania Gulf Scuba Diving Tour with a Marine Biologist runs about three and a half hours, while the Catania: Boat Tour to Aci Trezza with Dolphin Spotting fits a shorter window with a chance of sighting dolphins in the open water.
