Perfect for those who prefer little or no walking, this three-and-a-half-hour excursion begins with a brief sojourn through Catania. Founded in the 8th century B.C. as a Greek colony Catania flourished in the 14th century as one of Italy's most important cultural, artistic and political centers. The city was rebuilt with lava after a catastrophic eruption and an earthquake in the 17th century earning the nickname, "the grey city." Then, you'll travel along the scenic coastline, famed for its connection to Homer's epic "The Odyssey" and an angry Cyclops. Stretch your legs and enjoy a photo stop in the village of Acicastello. The picture-perfect ruins of an 11th century Norman castle sit atop a ridge of lava. Back on board, enjoy the short drive back to the ship in Catania, soaking up the picturesque views of the picturesque coastline.
