Seafront site on the Riviera dei Ciclopi with direct access to the sea
A 15-minute drive or bus ride from central Catania
Diving centre, restaurant and range of excursions on site

Legend has it that the mythical Cyclopes once lived along this stretch of coast – and it's fairly easy to understand why the mighty beings would pick such a spot. Even with only one eye, they’d have been able to see that what’s now called the Riviera dei Ciclopi is a stunning part of Sicily. The belligerent Greek giants are long gone now, leaving behind them a most peaceful seaside setting for Camping Jonio, a tree-filled site on a cliff terrace. There are splendid sea views from here, and direct access to a rocky stretch of the coast for fishing and swims in the Ionian Sea (don’t worry about scrambling back out over the rocks if you’ve gone in for a dip – there are steps to aid your graceful god/goddess-like exit). A whole different collection of critters resides along the coast these days – to check them out, head to the on-site diving centre where staff can sort you with days of snorkelling, scuba diving lessons and guided dives. That’s not all for excursions beyond the site's gates, for the folk here organise all sorts of outings on a daily basis in high season, to fave Sicilian attractions including Mount Etna and the Alcantara Gorges. If you'd rather potter locally, it's a cinch to get around on public transport, hailing a bus from the stop a few minutes' walk away, hiring bikes on site or driving to Catania in around 15 minutes. And if you'd rather potter right there, there’s a playground and TV room to keep the bambini busy, plus a bar-restaurant for extended alfresco meals on the spacious terrace.

Liked: Our pitch was under a tree in the shade which is important for us.

Disliked: We suffered a lot of poop from a couple of wood pigeons. We understand that not much can be done.

Electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: Schöner Ausblick. Saubere Sanitäranlage. Umbuchen von 2 auf 1 Nacht ohne Probleme möglich.

Disliked: Sehr kleiner Stellplatz - man sitzt im Prinzip dicht an dicht. Mit Kleinkindern im Sommer eher ungünstig - kein Pool (okay, war vorher bekannt), Zugang zum Meer steinig/felsig - von oben sah man tote Fische im Meer schwimmen. Am Restaurant stand „offen ab 19Uhr“, was dann aber nicht der Fall war. An der Rezeption bekamen wir dann die Info, dass wir 10Minuten laufen müssten (eine einsame, nicht sehr einladende Straße entlang) und dann dort auch Restaurants wären.

Electric gravel and hardstanding tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Camping ottimo, sul mare di Catania (è possibile accedere al mare direttamente dal campeggio, ovviamente per la posizione, sono tutti scogli e non è il massimo per chi ha bambini molto piccoli). Servizi ottimi, distante 4,5km dal centro di Catania ma grazie alla pedonale che costeggia tutta la città è possibile raggiungerla anche a piedi. Il parcheggio auto è esterno al campeggio ma comunque contingentato da cancello e sbarra. Per chi ha la tenda non c'è possibilità di avere l'auto vicino.

Local attractions

A lot of folk have passed this way since the Cyclopes and pals wandered off (although you can still see the rocks they allegedly lobbed into the sea about three kilometres north of the site). The Norman Castle in Aci Castello (10 minutes' drive) is an example of what's been left behind – it was built in the 11th century and now houses the civic museum. The real-life Greeks are responsible for some rather fine sights too: the ancient amphitheatre in Taormina (45 minutes) is one of Sicily’s top sights and still stages shows to this day. Catania (15 minutes) is a good place to hunt for historic bits and bobs, such as the Greco-Roman archaeology park, Baroque cathedral and 18th-century elephant fountain. Existing long before any of these folk came by are Sicily’s natural attractions – the sandy beaches 20 minutes away, the black lava cliffs of Alcantara River Park (50 minutes) and the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna (40 minutes).
