About Aci Castello
Aci Castello pairs a Norman-era basalt castle on the sea with the lava-built lanes of Acitrezza, making it one of Sicily's most atmospheric corners for travellers who want history with their coastline. The Catania, Acitrezza and Acicastello: Ionian Coast Open-Bus Panoramic Tour gives you the broad sweep of the Ionian shore, while the Acitrezza & Acitrezza: Tour with Departures from Catania digs deeper into the fishing village's volcanic identity.

Frequently asked questions
Aci Castello's story is written in stone: the Norman castle built on a basalt outcrop, the lava-stone houses of Acitrezza, and the fishing traditions tied to the Faraglioni rocks. A guided city tour connects these sites to Catania's Greek and Roman past, so you leave understanding the landscape rather than just photographing it.
