The best fleet of RVs, campervans and motorhomes for rent in Catania
Catania is an ancient city, destroyed several times by natural disasters without losing its charm that still enchants its visitors today. It is a port city located at the foot of Mount Etna, with splendid beaches with crystal clear waters. Its historic center has been recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and never disappoints anyone thanks to its ancient churches, imposing palaces, and characteristic premises. But that's not all! Catania is not only famous for its ancient architecture, but also for its culinary culture. Among the most famous dishes, do not forget to taste the arancini, cannoli, and the traditional Pasta alla Norma.
Catania is located in the eastern part of Sicily, an island south of Italy, and is easily accessible by any means. Catania Fontanarossa Airport is located a few kilometers from the city and can be reached by numerous airlines such as Alitalia, Lufthansa, and Ryanair (flight times from London: 3 hours and 20). Catania is connected to Palermo and Messina by motorways A19 and A18 and to other smaller cities by state roads. Trains for various Italian destinations depart from Catania Centrale station. Catania can also be reached by ship, departing from Naples, Malta, Genoa, and many other Italian cities.
