Best Western Mediterraneo Di Catania

I just checked out my 'stats' section and I'm quite pleased with my little blog and how much people are enjoying reading about my travels. I have over 20 5-star ratings and over 2,000 viewings. That is so incredibly awesome!<br><br>Apparently my photos are also not so bad. Travelpod has selected almost a dozen of them to be included in the daily ...

... kind of think I've perfected it. Anyway, in Italy, it does niente! An old man at the railway station stared at me the entire way I walked toward him and I could feel his eyes on me the entire time I walked away. When I realized that I couldn't get out where I thought I could (this trip really is exposing my unknown flaw of a horrible sense of direction) he watched me walk the entire way back. And he wasn't a dirty, old man. He was just a grampa. Just an old guy. But that's the Italian way ...

... Mount Etna. <br>Among shops, pubs, restaurants, coffee bars, pubs, discos, game rooms, <br>parks, banks, you can appreciate the many buildings and places: Piazza <br>University <br>and Palazzo San Giuliano, the Collegiate Church, the Church of the Child, Piazza <br>Stesicoro, Villa Bellini and Piazza Cavour, also known as "the village". <br><br>The B &amp; B Hotel Alba is 50 meters from the lively and ...

... condizionata, tutte le comodità per<br>trascorrere durante la permanenza gradevoli e rilassanti momenti,<br>all'interno del cuore di Catania, le nostre stanze, curate nei minimi<br>particolari, rendono perfettamente il nostro concetto di ospitalità,<br>dove pulizia e accuratezza permettono una piacevole permanenza, ed è<br>questo a renderci tra i migliori B&amp;B di questa stupenda città.

... in the 1669 eruption in which nearly 12 000 people lost their lives. It is not a brilliant black it kind of gives the city a dirty look. <br><br>Our early morning tour of Catania started with 'La Pescheria' (fish market), followed by the chaos of the produce market were we brought fresh fruit and some amazing panini, bread stuffed with tomato, mozzarella and a spicy olive paste. From there we headed up to the Castello Ursino and some Roman ruins (something ...

... fahren können. Wahrscheinlich war dem guide die fahrkarte zu teuer und so war sein reingewinn grösser.<br><br><br>nach 3 tage in catania waren wir doch froh, diese stadt verlassen zu können.....wir freuten uns auf das neue Ziel 'Taormina', wo es eine schöne altstadt auf einem hügel gebe und dazu ein spezieller strand mit der isola bella.<br><br>also das nächst beste hostal im internet gebucht und am nächsten tag mit bus und zug richtung taormina....... :-)<br><br><br>

A lovely quaint very old area. Stayed in a lovely hotel with great attentive staff would recommend it to any couple looking for a romantic break or second honeymoon. Just off the main shopping street of Corso Umberto but found that the shopping was over priced so don't go expecting any bargains.

... an emotional bunch. In fact, they pride themselves on their emotions, their passion.<br><br>This emotional bent is also apparent by the many idols &#8211; statues of Mary, churches, looming dominance of God, crosses nearly everywhere you look. A sign of devotion as part of the Italian Culture.<br><br>Refugio<br><br>We stayed at a Refuge on Mount Etna &#8211; menu scant.

Last day in Balestrate. Warm sunny day perfecto for our drive to Syracuse on the other side of the Island. Gaspare our host was very nice &amp; helpful and would recommend staying at Villa Sara. <br><br>With the Tom Tom set we headed off via Palermo through the center of Sicily. I was expecting winding steep climbs up in to the mountain but the motorway was very tame as it wound it way through the valleys on especially long bridges. An abundance of rural ...

... simply prepared washed down with local wines are a treat. Try salt-crusted Orata, in Catania's Cafe Duomo, it will melt in your mouth and the salt comes from the windswept salt marshes near Trapani. In Palermo, try "IL Cambusone" tucked in behind the massive Teatro Massimo, its two fixed menus (one with pasta course one without) is a treat and their antipasti has to be seen and tasted to be believed. Around Agrigento, take a trip to the coast at San ...
