What to expect

Catania historic alleyways

You will walk through Catania's historic alleyways as the city transitions into evening, using these side streets to reach traditional food stops and kiosks.

Features

• The guided walking tour of Catania including fish market and alleyways lets you experience daily life away from main streets, as your professional guide explains how food and history intersect in this part of Sicily.
• A variety of street food tastings is included during the walk, such as arancino, olives, cheeses and various products in oil, so you can compare different flavors and textures as you move between stops.
• Local sweets are part of the experience, with tastings that may include cannolo siciliano, cassatella, almond paste, or granita, showing how Catania approaches dessert and late-evening snacks.

Catania fish market

The route brings you to Catania's colourful fish market, a key stop on the tour and one of the city's most distinctive food hubs.

Features

• At the fish market you can observe stalls, local vendors, and the atmosphere that shapes many of the dishes you taste later, while your expert guide points out seasonal products and typical preparations.
• Food and beverages are included here and throughout the walk, so you do not need to purchase items separately; tastings are organized to give you a broad view of Catania's seafood and street food culture.
• A plate of horse meat or fish is part of the included tastings, allowing you to sample a dish that is closely associated with local dining habits in Catania.

Local kiosks and tastings

The tour also includes a stop at one of Catania's kiosks, which play an important role in the city's everyday food and drink culture.

Features

• At the kiosk you try artisanal soft drinks, which are included in the tour and illustrate how non-alcoholic refreshments are prepared and served locally.
• A glass of local wine is also provided during the tour, giving you a chance to taste a regional pour alongside your street food tastings in a real city setting.
• Throughout these stops your expert local guide is available to answer questions, adjust the pace between kiosks and alleyways, and ensure all included food and beverages are sampled comfortably during the evening.
