The area surrounding Etna is famous for wild mushrooms, sausages and blood oranges. The specialities of Catania are Pasta alla Norma, Arancini (fried rice balls stuffed with meat sauce or mozzarella and thinly sliced cured ham), Gelati and Granita (originally made straight from the snow on Etna). Vineyards line the steep, fertile shelves of the volcano and, derived from local grape varieties such as Nero d’Avola or Nerello Mascalese, yield excellent full-bodied wines. Convenient direct flights from several airports in Switzerland or Germany are available from a variety of operators and our highly-skilled Private Selection Hotels Holiday Advisors will gladly search out the best flights for you.
