Visit the Vatican of the South on this private tour of Acireale, where you'll walk among its many baroque-style churches and enjoy the wild coastline.

Description

We'll meet at the Piazza Duomo to begin our private tour of Acireale. Our first stop will be the Maria Santissima Annunziata Cathedral, known for its ornate features. Inside the Duomo de Acireale, we will view the frescoes that adorn its columns and ceilings. Exiting, we will see the church's bell towers and the Palazzo Comunale.

As we explore the town, located at the base of Mt. Etna, we will pass by the Museo Opera dei Pupi, which focuses on Sicilian marionette theater. Our stroll will lead us to the Basilica of San Sebastiano, featuring an elegantly decorated facade.

In the local pastry shops, we can indulge in typical sweets like ricotta-filled cannolis.

Next, we will see the exterior of the Pinacoteca de Zelantea, which exhibits historical pieces including fossils, ancient coins, and artwork by Guercino and Van Dyke.

We will conclude our tour at the scenic coastline, where the Sant'Anna Lighthouse and Timpa Natural Park beaches are located. This tour lasts approximately two hours.
