Carnival Experience - Head for Acireale on Sicily's East Coast at soloSicily.com

    PALERMO, ITALY, January 25, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If you've 'done' Venice and Rio and are looking for a new colourful Carnival experience, head for Acireale on Sicily's east coast.

The Carnival (7-24 February) is best known for its spectacular floral displays and floats portraying celebrities, politicians and fantasy creations. Celebrations date back to the 16th century but fortunately the former throwing of eggs and oranges has been replaced by street parades and entertainers that include marching bands, dancers and masked performers.

Acireale is a seaside city at the foot of Mount Etna in eastern Sicily, renowned for its Baroque architecture and just a few miles from the charming town of Taormina. Stay in the heart of the action at soloSicily's Melaverde apartment (sleeps 7), a stunning 4-bedroom apartment in the centre of town. A 3-night break costs from 525 in February with soloSicily. Flights available to Catania with British Airways and Air Malta.

soloSicily features apartment, villa and boutique hotel accommodation throughout the island. Properties sleep from two to 38, including several magnificently-restored villas on vast aristocratic-owned estates. Additional services featured include maid service, catering, cookery classes, wine-tastings, local excursions and guided mountain bike tours.
