Some streets just get you where you need to go, while others force you to stop and explore! Via Crociferi is one example. Linger a while at this hot spot with locals and other tourists.

This public thoroughfare is one of the top free attractions in Catania City Centre. If you're in the mood to explore beyond Via Crociferi, we can also recommend Catania Cathedral, Ursino Castle and Palazzo Biscari.

It was a beautiful area, near the beach and cable car which takes you up to the city. The only issue I had was the mattress was really overly firm for my liking, but that was my preference. The breakfast was wonderful and sitting on the veranda and looking over the water completed the visit.
