All about Catania Airport
No trip to Sicily is complete without a stop at its second-most populous city, Catania. This charming former fishing village has sprouted up at the base of Mount Etna and features wonderful baroque architecture and a lovely waterfront.
Mount Etna, an active volcano looming in the background, strokes a gorgeous but foreboding backdrop to Catania’s beautiful cityscape. It’s a UNESCO-listed nature reserve that offers active travelers skiing or hiking opportunities.
Catania Fontanarossa Airport is one of the busiest airports in Sicily and, along with flying through Palermo or taking the ferry, the primary way for international travelers to reach Catania. It’s situated outside the city center, but it's simple to reach the top landmarks after you arrive. If you need to store your personal belongings safely for a few hours, our Catania Airport luggage storage service is the perfect solution for the modern traveler.
