Uncover Catania’s darker side on this atmospheric 90-minute evening walking tour blending ghost stories, crime legends, and iconic Sicilian street food. Start in the historic center near Piazza Duomo, where tales of a mysterious medieval magician still echo beneath the lava stones. Enjoy a warm arancino with a glass of local Etna wine before heading to Via dei Crociferi, a baroque street haunted by the legend of a headless horse—said to protect forbidden love affairs of the nobility. Gaze upon Mount Etna from Via Etnea and hear how its fiery presence inspired myths of witches and ancient curses. End your walk near Teatro Bellini with a cassatina and sweet passito wine as you learn the tragic story of Saint Agatha, Catania’s beloved martyr. This tour is perfect for travelers who want to explore hidden corners, taste authentic flavors, and uncover the untold stories that live in the city’s shadows.

Fascinating legends and amazing local guide. The arancino and Etna wine stop gave the tour an authentic sicilian feel. Great balance of mystery and flavor, the stories about witches were hunting!
