Acitrezza, a lively tourist town with every kind of comfort, is one of the most wonderful place in Sicily famous for its 'Faraglioni' a very big rocks inside the sea. Aci Trezza is a town in Sicily about 7 miles north of Catania. Located on the coast of the Ionian Sea, the village has a long history of maritime activity. Aci Trezza is a popular spot for Italian vacationers in the summer. The patron Saint of the town is San Giovanni. Of the coast of Aci Trezza are three tall, column-shaped islands. According to local legend, these great stones are the ones thrown at Odysseus in The Odyssey. The islands are referred to as the 'Isole dei Ciclopi' by locals. This compliments the notion that the Cyclops once had a smithy below Mount Etna, which looms over the village to the northwest.
