Catania - Winter City Break in Sicily, Worth it?

[@Loupadron2010]

Awareness and promotion of no litter or no graffiti is the best weapon followed by heavy fines or jail/communal time to clean up the damage and harm done. Thank you. Grazzie Mille.

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Absolutely littering the ocean (or anywhere as it will finish in the ocean) should be punished. Sadly we still don't take it seriously enough yet ....

@@Loupadron2010 yes …Australia was like this in the 1960s and 70s until public education and fines started ….the Do the right thing campaign ….and educate children …..but of course Australia did not have the population density of Sicily.

currently live in catania and this was a great video! truly a shame about all of the trash, but it will take a miracle for the government to do something about it. other things i'd recommend: inside the monastero sanctuary, there is a solar calendar with a lot of incredible history as well as all the beautiful candelore carried through the streets during the festival of sant'agata (one of the most important religious holidays in the world). also san giovanni licuti is a beautiful lava rock beach where locals love to grab some food, eat and relax. finally, you mentioned the important arancino and cannolo, but also important to try pasta alla norma, one of the most important dishes in catania!

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Thanks for your input! I will take note in case I go back 😁

[@Loupadron2010]

What a nice video thank you for sharing it. Is there a way that the ministry of tourism for all of Sicily is made aware of all the litter and graffiti which needs to be cleaned up at once to have all the architectural, environmental, of the entire island be healthy, prettier and more marketable for the well being of all? My goodness how disgraceful to be seeing a marvel of an island Italian filled with so much history, culture, etc, etc. and see all of that graffiti all over the place and litter. It has to be stopped and eradicated.

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Hmmm I think it must be money issues. They must be aware of it as it's so visible...

[@VivBetts]

Many thanks for the video Nathalie, really interesting seeing the city out of season.

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Glad you enjoyed it Vivien ☺️

[@tarvos_trigaranvs]

Really good video! Im going to Catania soon, and I watched a few videos already and strangly this is first one that even mentions that roman amphitheatre! (Which im very interested to see)

[@tarvos_trigaranvs]

Also this is very informative, not like when people eating for 10 minutes in a 20 min long video :)

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Thanks Travos 🤩🤩so glad you enjoyed it! Hope you have a great time is Catania!

[@JNO_JNO]

Skip Catania

[@PizzAzzC]

Amazing! The black cat stretching and rolling around on the ground looked like my Toulouse.Fantastic video though still watching the premiere. 😻

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Toulouse interesting Cat name! Nice one Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@PizzAzzC]

He was named after Toulouse from the Disney movie, The Aristocats. When I was younger, I had a gorgeous white Persian cat who was named Marie after the kitten also from the movie 😻

[@JNO_JNO]

Very well done and honest !

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Thanks John ☺️

[@lisahayes5281]

Amazing video of a beautiful place. The cemetery is so beautiful!

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it Lisa 😊

[@InnGomes]

What a nice video, very complete and interesting, you show exactly what I was looking for, not only the perfect beautiful side of the city. I'm going to Sicily in 3 days, and I've been completely overwhelmed with packing, the weather preview one day shows 10 degrees and rain, another 21 and sunny, and since we are planning to visit Etna, we also have to think of snow, so you can imagine, not easy, especially when traveling low cost. Thanks for showing that Catania can also be pretty out of summer season ❤

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Oh yeah it's hard to pack for both cold and warm weather with hand luggage! Glad you enjoyed the video ☺️ Hope you have a great time there!

[@AnneMelb2010]

So good to see you again Nathalie and I miss the Heygo experience but this was great. Thanks for showing us around this part of Italy. Interesting but sad to see the run-down parts. Looking forward to more video's in the future.

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Glad you enjoyed it Anne 🤩 virtually see you soon (maybe in my live streams?)

[@swan96]

Nice, relaxing video (stressful day so great to kick back and relax a while) and lots of interesting detail about Catania - loved the view of Mount Etna! Also loved the music you used, what was the track?

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it Swan! I think it's called "true art real affection" it's a copywriting free tune provided by KZbin for creators ☺️

[@swan96]

@@nathalie.kerrio Perfect! Thank you :-) It's a really chilled piece of music.

[@nathalie.kerrio]

@@swan96 yes perfect for travel vlogs ☺️

Anyone else spotted the shameless litterring by the grandpa on 3:08? Kinda annoying!

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Oh my god, yes! I had missed it myself 😮 I just rewatched it and spotted it..

[@JNO_JNO]

@@nathalie.kerriothey all do it …its filthy place

[@velvetmusic9851]

The last part is the poorest and dirtiest part of the city but not the most rough. It's great you entered that part of the city without being scared, they can perceive it as they grow up in the streets, they have high instincts, but they can be the most cool, warm, humble and human people you can get.

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Yes they looked like decent people to me 😊

[@JNO_JNO]

I was just there for 2 weeks and was not impressed …its filthy dirty with garbage everywhere

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Yes I know, as soon as you get out of the old touristy center it's really dirty. I rarely saw anything like that in the EU. It looks like there is no public money at all...

[@JNO_JNO]

@@nathalie.kerrio it’s not so bad in other places - just Catania and surrounds

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Good to know I did not have time to explore more of the island

[@JNO_JNO]

@@nathalie.kerrio the south east is beautiful…Noto Marzamimi portopalo

[@nathalie.kerrio]

I will have to go one day

[@Ponkelina]

is this a joke? there is no video. Only an advert on a loop!

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Not sure what you are talking about, maybe a KZbin bug? There definitely is a video. It's 24min approx

[@Ponkelina]

Must have been a bug or something. It's fine now. It's playing. I've never experienced it before - just the adverts going in a loop but access to the actual video. All is fine now. Thanks for replying. Will watch now.@@nathalie.kerrio

[@nathalie.kerrio]

Oh good to hear it's all back to normal 🙂 have a great day!
