Aci Trezza is one of the Catania coast's hidden gems — a fishing village just 20 minutes north of the airport, famous for the dramatic Faraglioni dei Ciclopi rising from the sea. Legend says Polyphemus hurled these basalt stacks at Odysseus. SAT connects you directly from the terminal to your waterfront hotel or B&B with a fixed-price private transfer. No buses, no connections — just the open road and the first glimpse of lava-rock coastline.

  • Quick 20-minute transfer along the scenic coastal road
  • Faraglioni dei Ciclopi — the mythical sea stacks of Homer's Odyssey
  • Charming fishing harbour with fresh-catch seafood restaurants
  • Easy day-trip base for Aci Castello, Catania and Mount Etna

Aci Trezza

Aci Trezza

About the destination

Aci Trezza sits on the Riviera dei Ciclopi, a stretch of Ionian coastline defined by spectacular basalt formations. The eight Faraglioni sea stacks and the island of Lachea form a protected marine reserve — according to Homer, these are the rocks the Cyclops Polyphemus threw at Ulysses. The village retains its authentic fishing character: painted wooden boats line the harbour, and trattorias serve the freshest catch steps from the water. Giovanni Verga set his masterpiece 'I Malavoglia' here, cementing Aci Trezza's place in Italian literary heritage.
