Prices for a vacation in Catania
Let's estimate the approximate cost of a vacation in Catania for two people. Let's assume that you're traveling to Sicily during the resort season, so we'll base our calculations on average prices during this period.
The flight will cost around 800-1000 EUR.
Total cost of a vacation in Catania
The cost depends on the accommodation. A double room in a 3-4 star hotel will cost around 150 EUR per day. Therefore, for a five-day stay, you'll need to pay 750 EUR. If you're considering a hostel, you can rent a private room for two people for around 250 EUR for a similar duration.
Next is food. A hearty lunch or dinner in an inexpensive but decent restaurant will cost around 50 EUR for two. A bottle of wine costs 10 EUR, beer costs 8 EUR, and a cup of cappuccino costs 2-3 EUR. In general, you'll need to spend around 75 EUR per day on food. You can save money by buying groceries at supermarkets, but that's only possible if you have access to a kitchen.
In many reviews about vacations in Catania, Russian-speaking guided tours are mentioned as the most expensive component. So, if you want to save money, explore the attractions on your own using guidebooks and maps. The only expense you may want to include is a trip to Mount Etna (500 EUR for two). Souvenirs made from volcanic lava and magnets cost around 3-5 EUR.
Transportation costs
Don't forget about transportation expenses. A daily ticket costs 2.5 EUR. In total, you'll need around 25 EUR for two people for five days.
Therefore, plan to spend at least 3000 EUR for a vacation in Catania. If you plan to visit nightclubs, use paid beaches, go yachting, and shop at luxury stores, prepare a budget of at least 5000 EUR.
