Catania

Catania, Sicily’s vibrant gateway beneath Mount Etna, offers Baroque architecture, bustling markets, and dramatic volcanic landscapes. Via Etnea, a grand boulevard lined with cafes and shops, leads to the majestic Catania Cathedral and the Piazza del Duomo, home to the iconic elephant fountain. To experience Sicily’s rich diversity—from Etna’s lunar slopes to the beaches of Taormina—a rental car is indispensable.

Cardamar Car Rental provides convenient pickup at Catania–Fontanarossa Airport and downtown offices. Our fleet includes economical city cars for navigating narrow streets, sedans for coastal cruising, and SUVs for Etna’s mountain roads. Inclusive rates cover collision damage waiver, theft protection, and liability; enhance your rental with GPS, child seats, and additional drivers. Transparent pricing and 24/7 roadside assistance offer peace of mind.

Begin your drive with a scenic ascent on the SS120 to Rifugio Sapienza on Etna’s southern flank—hike on lava fields or take a cable car higher for panoramic views. Descend toward Taormina via the SP92 road, enjoying coastal vistas and stopping at Giardini Naxos beaches. Explore Taormina’s Greek Theatre and medieval streets before continuing south along the Ionian coast to Acireale, famous for its baroque architecture and lemon granita.

For cultural depth, drive north to Savoca and Forza d’Agrò, film locations for The Godfather saga, then return via the winding SS185 through Nebrodi Park’s oak forests. Whether sampling granita in Catania’s markets or chasing sunsets over Ionian cliffs, a Catania car rental ensures you experience Sicily on your own timeline.
