Something about Sicily

Why Acireale is not one of the most suggested destinations in Sicily - it could be! The carnival every February is something to really recommend. Acireale is not on the coastline but in the area you find amazing beaches!

Aci Trezza with its faraglioni and social life, is comfortable location for a summer day or an evening!

Aci Castello has transformed during the years with lava and now you will have an explanation how.

There are 9 villages with the name Aci something...the story behind Aci has something to do with love and drama...
