Camping Jonio

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.

What customers say

Great spot right on the sea, some shady pitches. Staff friendly, facilities (hot showers!) clean. Direct sea access is a big plus, though rocky for little ones. Some found pitches small, with noise from neighbours. Restaurant reviews mixed, but handy.

Electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Il campeggio è accogliente, il personale disponibile alle richieste o adattamenti preferenziali.

Disliked Purtroppo inquanto scogliera esiste poco spazio per sostare visto che oltretutto la mareggiata passata ha distrutto parte delle piattaforme sugli scogli.
Un altro aspetto le scalette per scendere in acqua, per chi non ha scarpe adatte, sono dolorose per i piedi. I miei di sicuro. Andrebbero fatte meglio.

Liked Douches en restaurant

Disliked Plaats die we hadden leek parkeerplek, we keken recht bij mensen binnen ,achterburen liepen steeds tussen onze plek door, achterbuurman had geluid van een 65 inch tv kei hard aan staan, heel aat kwamen motoren op de camping. Onze auto moest op parkeerplaats, maar die was vol toen voor de caravan moeten zetten en er kon net een stoel staan. Luifel kon daar niet staan. Ik zou er nooit meer heen gaan

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).
