The last day, from the Scogliera blue sea to the underground river of Catania
Here we are, my traveler, the last day of the tour!
I suggest you to have a great swim in the Scogliera just in front of your Hotel Baia Verde and to have a relaxing moment in their beauty center.
Then, after your last lunch here (and I suggest a fish restaurant!) a little walk to the center of Catania, to discover its underground river, the Amenano, and the Ursino Castle and the rock upon which was built, directly on the sea, and definitively separated by the sea, thanks to a terrible lava eruption in 1669.
Here will end our road trip!

I suggest to get up early and to have a little swim in the blue sea just down the hotel and, after, a relaxing massage in the beauty center inside the hotel, before going away.

After a morning dedicated to wellness, here you will eat excellent fish, and after I suggest to drive towards the center of the Catania, leave your car and finally have a nice walk along via Etnea, go shopping before going to the Castello Ursino Museum.

Again, in this tour we saw rivers, lakes, sea and the relations that water, declined in all these ways, has with the landscape: here is one of the most important fountain, in the wonderful Baroque framework of Piazza Duomo, where the Amenano river flows, the underground river of Catania, which is able to appear in some points in the city: underground in the Achillenian Baths under the Cathedral, in the orchestra space in the Roma Theatre, in some lava galleries underground and here!

The last visit I suggest for you is Castello Ursino, a powerful building erected between 1239 and 1250 by the Swabian Emperor Federick II.
The Castle has the typical structure of the fortified buildings of the Swabian period, with a square ground - plan distributed around a central court and circular turrets. The castle houses the Museo Civico, which was created in 1934 by combining the collection of the Benedectine monks with that of the Prince of Biscari, the great collector and archaeologist at the end of th1 18th century. The Museum contains works of extraordinary value: from the archaeological collection to the paintings. If you want, you can discover the incredible storie of this place and its collection through a great audioguide on izi.TRAVEL!
Finally, let's go back to take the car and let's go to the airport! I hope you are fine and I give you goodbye to another tour in Sicily
