Located half an hour north of Catania on the eastern coastline, Acireale overlooks the sea. It is an authentic and picturesque town worth visiting to enjoy its tranquility and beautiful views. On the way there, you pass through Aci Castello, along the Cyclops’ promenade (Lungomare Dei Ciclopi), and hear the legend of the large rocks rising from the sea at Aci Trezza. In Acireale, you can indulge in excellent marzipan cookies and a glass of lemon-flavored granita — the famous local icy treat. These delights can be found around Piazza Duomo, in the town center. Sicilians are renowned for their sweet desserts.
