About Aci Castello
Aci Castello's black-lava coastline, the jagged Faraglioni stacks off Acitrezza and the Norman castle rising straight from the sea make this stretch of the Ionian coast unusually photogenic from the water. Boats here get you close to the Cyclops Islands at angles no clifftop path can match, and the low afternoon light turns the basalt into deep charcoal against the blue. The Boat Tour & Snorkeling at the Cyclops Islands with Aperitif works well for shooting the rocks and coves, while the Catania: Boat Tour to Aci Trezza with Dolphin Spotting adds a chance of catching marine life on camera.

Frequently asked questions
From the water, the Faraglioni sea stacks off Acitrezza and the Cyclops Islands give the cleanest compositions, especially when the sun drops behind Mount Etna and lights the lava rock from the side. On land, the terrace below Aci Castello's Norman castle and the Acitrezza harbour wall are reliable late-afternoon spots.
