Very nice Castle on the coast very nice during summer, with lots of water activities taking place near it. Also nice for a stroll by the sea and dining al fresco.
Make sure to book a boat and admire the castle from the sea side. Much worth it. Restaurants in the town are also good.
the city is pretty nice and typical for this region, but Normans castle built over 900 years ago is breathtaking ... it looks like a great stone vessel, entering the bay into the city ...
For those who like beaches and exotic places, Aci Castello provide you with a unique experience. A lava stone beach just bellow the Castle. Just 20 minutes by car from the centre of Catania, Aci Castello is a great place to enjoy the sun. Go to the small grocery shop in the main street, buy some local goods (grapes and cheese and some prociutto), and head to the beach to have an amazing day by the sea.
Very beautiful place and village. Good for viewing, photography, swimming and walking. You can visit the ancient castle on the rock and have a swim in a beautiful sea in front of the volcanic black rocks.
Aci Castello is a great way to spend a warm summer day! Rent a small boat of water bike and spend the say cursing around the water, jumping in a out! **Towards the afternoon the water starts to get dirty, try to go in the morning and leave by 1pm-2pm
aci castello is very nice village by the sea.you can go with the bus from catania bus station.the beach instead of sand,it is lava and,in summer they put wodden platforms for sunbathing.the surrounding is good for little walk by the sea promenade.
Impressive little place with great views of the coast near Catania. There is not that much to see or do, unless you are a great enthusiast of either fossils or cacti. The area though is very nice, especially on a sunny day. You can even swim in the sea bellow Aci Castello but be careful as it is not an authorized beach.
It was a great surprise to find a magnificent Norman castle in the sea coast of Sicily. The square just in front of it has a beautiful view of the coast and the blue Sicilian sea and sky. Amazing
