Catania Gay Map

Gammazita is a beating heart of grassroots and queer community life in Catania, a self-organized cultural association and social space set in a reclaimed corner by the Castello Ursino in the historic center. More community hub than conventional bar, it's a warm, leftist, genuinely inclusive spot where you can grab a drink among a relaxed crowd, often with live music and outdoor seating, and where the city's LGBTQ+ scene gathers: it regularly hosts Catania Pride events, queer book presentations and community gatherings, and is consistently recommended as the place to start a queer night out in the city.

Right in the historic center of the most gay-friendly city in southern Italy, my small guest apartment is located on the second floor (no elevator) of an old building from the early 1900s and consists of an entrance hall, kitchen, living room with sofa bed, double bedroom and a bathroom with shower stall. The rooms overlook Carcaci Street and have vaulted ceilings.

South Factory Club is a large, modern gay sauna in Catania that bills itself as the largest in southern Italy, discreetly set on a quiet side street near the seaward end of Via San Giuliano. Its centerpiece is a big hydromassage pool ringed by a Finnish sauna and a Turkish bath on the ground floor, with an upstairs of spacious private cabins, several massage rooms, a video room, a labyrinth, dark rooms, a sling and glory-hole rooms, plus an American bar, a smoking area, and an outdoor courtyard.

Terme di Achille is a long-running gay sauna in Catania, just a couple of minutes' walk from the central station and serving the city's gay community since 2005. Set over two floors, it pairs a wellness level with a Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, and a chromotherapy jacuzzi with an upstairs given over to a video room, darkroom, massage and relaxation cabins, plus a lounge bar.
