Catania cruise destinationWelcome to the Catania cruise port guide. Catania lies in the shadows of Mt Etna on the “ball” of Italy. This charming town is one of the oldest and largest cities of Sicily. The presence of Europe’s largest volcano shapes this town to this very day. Several eruptions throughout history have covered this city by lava and the earthquake of 1693 almost completely destroyed Catania yet again. The city was rebuild with lava brick in the Baroque style making this grey city unique in the world. Read the cruise port guide underneath to know about where your ship will dock in Catania.
