Enjoy a traditional Chiosco drink, part of Sicily’s Bourbon-era heritage, before heading to Aci Castello to visit its Norman Castle, perched on a lava rock formation. Dating back to 1076, it offers stunning coastal views, a museum with archaeological and medieval finds, and botanical garden with cacti and succulents from around the world.

Finally, conclude your experience with a visit to a historic villa in the Gulf of Ognina, where you’ll relax with a delicious Sicilian granita while enjoying a breathtaking sea view.
