Catania, Sicily

I planned this trip to Sicily spontaneously while changing jobs. I flew to the east of the island, to the city of Catania.

Catania, Sicily
More Than Expected

At first I was not particularly impressed, as I found the city rather dirty. Soon however I realized that the architecture and culture are very interesting. Catania was actually supposed to be less of a destination in itself and more of a base for exploring the surroundings.

Mount Etna

Mount Etna, Sicily
The Highlight of the Trip

The best experience of my entire trip was visiting the volcano Mount Etna. The nature there was truly impressive, and I was very lucky: at night I could even see the volcano active from a safe distance.
