What to see in the surrounding area?

The B&B “La Terrazza di Ciricò”, 15 minutes from the Fontanarossa-Catania International Airport and just 5 minutes from the most important strategic motorway junction in Eastern Sicily, enjoys a central position in one of the most beautiful areas of Eastern Sicily, as an ideal starting point to reach the naturalistic and cultural attractions of the surrounding area.

The “Archaeological Park of Leontinoi”, the “Archaeological area of Castellaccio” and the “Archaeological Museum of Lentini” are not to be missed. Just 50 minutes by car, Taormina with its “Greek Theatre”, Giardini Naxos Savoca medieval village, the “Alcantara Gorges” a canyon formed by lava basalt walls.

Close at hand is the “Etna Volcano”, the highest volcano in Europe, at whose foot the ancient city of “Catania” is located.

And again, the beautiful Sicilian hinterland of the province of Enna with its jewels, such as the town of “Piazza Armerina” with its “Villa Romana del Casale” a UNESCO heritage site and the “Archeological area of Morgantina” in the city of Aidone .

And then reach the entire southern stretch of the Ionian coast of Sicily to visit the archaeological naturalistic location of the “Necropolis of Pantalica”, Syracuse famous for its “Greek Theatre” and its protected marine area of the “Plemmirio Natural Park”, Noto capital of the “Sicilian Baroque” and the oriented natural reserve “Vendicari Wildlife Oasis”, the characteristic seaside village of Marzamemi.

And the entire stretch of coast to the south, full of pristine beaches and coves to reach “Isola delle Correnti” near Portopalo di Capopassero, where the two Ionian and Mediterranean seas kiss. From here, walking along the sea you arrive in the heart of the ancient “County of Modica”, so as not to miss visiting the splendid Baroque towns of “Ragusa Ibla”, “Modica”, “Scicli” and “Ispica”. Staying at the “Terrace of Ciricò” is a strategic choice to visit the beauty of the eastern coast of Sicily in less than 55 minutes by car.
