Discovering a great landscape with a quad tour!

If you want, I suggest you an incredible adventure with this quad tour! You can have all the informations from this website: starting from the Hotel, after having a great breakfast, you need to go at the Doors od the Alcantara river for 9 or 10 o'clock and start driving your quad through the river and the Etna landscapes! About 5 hours of a great adventure in the nature!

After your incredible journey on a quad, I suggest a little stop in this splendid village! Here we are in Castiglione di Sicilia at 621meters on the sea, a little town dominating the Valley of the River Alcantara. Castiglione was a Greek colony, founded in 496 BC by exiles from the ancient city of Naxos, on the coast, and it was destroyed by Dionysius the Elder, the tyrant of Syracuse. Castiglione is a little jewel! It was an Arab stronghold, a royal town under the Normans, and it preserves its medieval aspect, dominated by the castle of which some ruins still remain. Now enjoy a little stop here, in its surrounding nature. Then, you will be ready to drive to Catania, where an incredible beautiful Hotel is waiting for you!

Welcome to tongue-tongue: this is the real meaning of Linguaglossa, a beautiful village on the nort-eastern slopes of the volcano,, founded on a lava stream in 1566. Linguaglocca came in fact from the Latin word "lingua" and the Greek word "γλῶσσα" (glôssa) which both mean 'tongue'. Here is a very famous ski resort and here there are many vineries and wine cellars, producing wonderful Etna wines.

Do you want to leave this lava slopes without having another glass of local wine??? No! I'm sure, you want to taste some other wines! So, I suggest a little stop here, in the beautiful Linguaglossa village, to take your time in front of a glass of Etna wine!

We started with the lava beach of San Giovanni Li Cuti. Now, I chose the Grand Hotel Baia Verde to finish on another lava beach like the one you started the tour: in fact this is a 4 star beach hotel built on the Lava rocks of an enchanting natural bay. The Grand Hotel Baia verde is just a short walk from the centre of Catania then tomorrow, after a massage and a dip in the pool or the sea, you can go to visit another site in Catania, before flying away. Now you will have dinner in the Oleandro restaurant, the hotel restaurant, a place where taste dishes of the typical Sicilian tradition. After dinner, if you want before going sleeping, you can take a walk along the cliff and the go to bed overlooking the sea.
