Workation in Catania: the essentials
Black lava stone gives Catania its look. The city on Sicily's east coast was rebuilt in baroque style after the earthquake of 1693, at the foot of Mount Etna and facing the Ionian Sea, and its centre around Piazza Duomo is part of a UNESCO listing. About 297,000 people live here, the university keeps the streets busy until late, and the fish market below the cathedral is a daily spectacle. Taormina and Syracuse are easy day trips, and Catania Fontanarossa, Sicily's main airport, is only about 4 km from the centre. Traffic is heavy and ash from Etna sometimes falls on the city, and swimming means lava rocks north of the port or the long sandy Playa to the south.
