    Aeroporto di Catania - It's interesting to see CTA's jetways in different states of use, with the one beyond clearly boarding passengers.

    This is a tiny airport with minimum facilities. After check-in and bag job, first step is to scan…read moreboarding pass to enter secure area. Expect long but moving lines at security. Many foreigners (i.e. US folks) don't understand the bin system at security and not realize you walk up to any open station available, even if it means being ahead of the last station. The staff is ok, just doing their job. Inside, a center board shows flights and gates. There are sufficient, though limited, shops and eateries inside. For our flight, they checked ID at the game in addition to scanning boarding pass. ID was not checked anywhere else.

    The Catania airport is a pretty small airport…read more Lines to check in luggage can be long. For Lufthansa, you can't check in until 2 hours ahead of boarding. Security went by pretty quickly for me. There is a McDonalds before security. After security, there is duty free and souvenir stores and some cafes. The airport needs more bathrooms and seats. There is a train stop, but I didn't use it. I took the bus to Catania Central instead and walked to my B&B. This airport is near Mt. Etna. It will close if she is too active due to ash in the air. Luckily, I flew out the day before she went active again. Check for her updates or fly in/out of Palermo instead.

    Aeroporto di Catania - Baggage claim at the left is thankfully exit only, shops and services are at the right, but this shoehorned passage in arrivals annoys me

    Absolutely unforgettable! The view of Mt. Etna is beyond words--hands down the best I've seen…read moreanywhere. The food matched the scenery: fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Service was attentive without being overbearing. This isn't just a meal, it's an experience you'll remember long after you leave. A must-do and well worth going further into the hills...

    Sicily was the last stop on our annual vacation and we decided on Taormina as the base for…read moretraveling during a 7 day period. But which hotel? After lots of research, we chose Villa Ducale. Pros: - Views are magnificent from the restaurant and patios of the individual rooms. You get a 180 degree panorama with Taormina and the Mediterranean down the hills to the east and Mt Etna to the west. - Great people on the reception desk. Very helpful with information, reservations and arrangements for luggage and keeping our car safe in their parking lots. - Very good food...especially at the included buffet breakfast which had lots of fresh ingredients...and the servers were quite personable - Bathroom was nice with excellent water pressure - Shuttle service to and from Taormina in the hotel van was an added convenience - A paved trail starting 3-4 blocks from Villa Ducale allows people to walk down to the shopping district (20-30 minutes) and climb back up (we didn't try). Vistas are amazing. - The mountain top town of Castelmora is a 5-7 minute drive up the road from Villa Ducale and offered charming shops and restaurants with "top of the world" views Cons: - We had a Junior Suite where the only difference from a "regular room" was some extra space for a large bench - Try as we might, there was no access to English language TV stations with current news. That was especially tough since the Middle East was thrown into turmoil on day #1 of our 7 day stay. - Housekeeping didn't seem to change the sheets more than every 3 days, but they cleaned the room each day - Toilet paper seemed to be single ply or verrrrry thin 2 ply Despite those few qualms, we're glad we chose Villa Ducale and recommend it to other travelers.
