I have been living in Sicily for the past few years and have enjoyed visiting this outlet mall a…read morehandful of times. It's hard not to get here, just takes a bit of time if you're coming from Catania (~45 minutes). The shopping center is very clean, they have decent cafes, and some high end stores to keep things interesting. If you're in Sicily for more than a week and need something to do, this plaza is worth seeing.

We were moving from the south to the north coast that day. A nice and easy drive through the heart…read moreof Sicily. Funnily enough, in the middle of almost nowhere there is this Outlet! It was summer and temperatures went way beyond 100°F. Not really any shade on the parking lot, so it doesn't matter where you leave your car...it will be boiling inside (be aware of that fact when it comes to leaving kids, pets ... or even freshly bought food in the car). The Outlet itself has a beautiful setting. It really IS a village itself with countless lovely built stores in all colors. There's also a good number of restaurants for every budget as well as bathrooms. Some stores offers really good discounts, some on the other hand....not. So you really depend on two things: Luck and time. You either bring enough time to check out the offers or you just hope the best and get lucky. We thought the "Guess" and the "MK" store really did have good offers the time we visited. Be sure to listen to the announcements over the speaker. On very short notice (minutes before) they will announce several times a day which store is up for an extra discount for the next 20-30 minutes. And then...run! Luckily we were just standing in front of the MK store when it got announced (20% extra off on handbags). People really will come running....and fight for the items. We got lucky.... So, it's a really cool place to grab some good stuff. Bring enough time (and money) to enjoy it fully. There are also several companies selling daytrips from many major towns in Sicily. Another good thing: Dogs are welcome here (just not IN the stores) and there's enough shade for your furry friend.

I have to say this is my favorite mall in Catania. It has a little bit of everything and actually…read moregot me in the mood to shop. There's a pretty sizable Decathlon and an awesome Conad. This should be your go to mall, after avoiding malls it is now mine.

I found a mall! This…read moremall is so nice, clean and unexpected in such a little town outside the U.S. Navy Base at Sigonella. The first store you see walking in is a toy store...so my kids were in heaven! Food court offers Burger King, a pizza place, another plizza place, and another pizza place. A gelato stand, another gelato stand, and another gelator stand. One "Tex Mex" restaurant too serving up Coronas! My kids also found the cutest arcade you've ever seen. (My phone has been acting up so sorry for limited photos-don't worry, I'll be back to the mall). They have a giant elephant ride and a giraffe ride-adorable! Of course I found some shops with some gorgeous clothes! OMG since they only come in size teeny and tiny, I will have to lay off the pasta because I'm inspired to look really good! Also on the main floor is an astronaout adventure experience. Little kids actually put on a space suit including helmet and get into a simulator. Since it was late we will do this another time. There are various lounge areas. A huge megatron plays CNN so you can sit and relax with your espresso and catch up on the news-or at least the hubby's can while you shop. I didn't make it thru the entire mall but I did see an H&M advertised and another store called the Auchan (like a Target) that offers groceries and a variety of other items-I saw people walking out with their Italian cakes in a box-which I will have to get next time I'm out and about. I saw another nice lounge area on the floors below and more stores to browse in. The housewares store that I popped in had some Italian coffee makers in various colors which I will surely pick up on my next outing. What I found interesting is most people had shopping carts walking throughout the mall-wow what a concept when you have so many things to buy! So much shopping to do for Christmas and I found a place to do it! Ciao!

So I went to this mall during a round Robin of checking out shopping malls. It does have a wide…read morevariety of stores, but not the stores that I would care to browse. Their Conad is a lot smaller than the Porte mall, but there are several other amenities near by(movie theater and other big box stores) Not my favorite but a great mall and shopping area.

I know back home the malls are packed but here they are not (at least on this particular day...a…read morefew days before Christmas). You won't find a long line of kids waiting to see Santa either. If you walk into any church they will have an elaborate display of the Nativity so that says something about what Christmas time is all about when you're in Sicily. Beautiful big mall, lots of security, clean, with underground parking, and a few stores to make you happy. Weekends is popular and after 5 p.m. it gets crowded. This new mall has changed shopping habits for many. Enclosed warm and all day shopping with no downtime for lunch? Wow! It's a popular concept since there are literally at least two other malls within just a few miles of each other. You'll see shopping carts roaming the mall too. Sephora, H&M, Zara, Guess, Bookstore, Pull & Bear, Disney, Foot Locker, Apple Store (the only Apple store in Sicily) just to name a few. On the weekends they have a craft and spice market worth checking out-they're set up near the Disney store. Like the malls back home a food court is found here the only difference is they serve beer and wine here too! Plenty of gelato places too. Outside of the mall they have a huge toy store and a McDonalds. The food court has sushi, pizza and a "Western" food place-as in BBQ, hamburgers and Onion Rings! Go to the coffee shop the hot chocolate is like a warm thick chocolate pudding! It was nice walking around a mall without all the crazy crowds. Every fashion boutique had the most amazing clothes-I wish I could buy them all. One thing we noticed...every mommy was dressed and looked like Miss Italy-gorgeous beautiful well dressed people all with leather knee high boots and a fabulous Italian handbag to match. Enjoying my shopping days!
