    Wonderful Tour
    My wife and I took a guided tour of this beautiful palazzo. Our guide was very informed and explained the history of the palazzo as well as details of each room and paintings.

    Among the best exhibitions ever
    On a rainy day, we visited the museum without any particular expectations, yet we left full of beautiful impressions. The staff was extremely friendly and made their best to explain stories behind each of the exhibits, describing individual parts of buildings and how they were made of certain material to resemble the real materials. We could touch each of the exhibits, which is the point of the exhibition primarily made for blind, yet great for anyone who wants to learn more about the most important Mediterranean buildings and their history. At the end of the tour we had a pleasant conversation with the crew and learnt some more about the Braille alphabet, which was also interesting for the children as well as ourselves.The kids said it was the best museum they have ever visited and it may be close to the truth as there are few where time passes so quickly and where you actually remember what you saw and learnt. Certainly highly recommended.

    Very Good Modern Art, Small Collection, Recommended
    It is very interesting that there is such very good modern art in the midst of Catania's historic treasures and buildings going back many centuries. It is a small museum, more like a gallery, and might not change it exhibitions often, buy we enjoyed it very much. Some but not all artists are Italian. Nice environment, small, not crowded. Recommended.

    Amazing beer!!!
    Lost my train and found this hidden little bar where I ordered a beer. The waitress asked if I wanted a Moretti or a Sicilian micro brew, and obviously I chose the latter. And what a brew!! I've had hundreds, probably more than a thousand different brews, and this is seriously one of the best I ever had. Incredibly balanced, full bodied, and oh so tasty! I simply love it, and I love this place! And Sicily. Right know it even feels like I love Catania.
    And the beer has the most beautiful name: Ulysses. Brewed by the skillful Birrificio dell'etna!
    WOW!!

    Good overview of Greco's works on paper
    I wasn't very familiar with the work of this international sculptor who was born in Catania so seeing a whole series of his beautifully rendered etchings was a lovely surprise. He is a master of line and his works contain many romantic and touching scenes of men and women cozy connections.

    lovely holiday
    We had a lovely holiday on the Marella Explorer. The staff were so helpful & could not do enough for you, I left my glasses on the plane & reception bent over backwards to try to find them for me. Anjo our cabin steward was very good & made animals out of towels for our entertainment, in the evenings our room was tidied & fresh towels were provided this was after our room was done during the day, he & his team were organised. The cabin was specious enough with plenty of cupboards & draws & it was nice having a window. There was plenty of restaurants to choose from but the Market Place was very good with plenty of choice every day. Enjoyed the musicals in the theatre as they were well performed.
    Our thanks to Captain Peter Harris & his team for a special holiday
