Ciao Stef,
if you want a very cheap accomodation, you can go to the hostel, close the cathedral square

otherwise, in the centre of the old city (via Etnea), some not luxury but very simple cheap and characteristic accomodations are
http://www.hoteletnea316.com/ (On a XIX century ancient palace's)

Both are not good if you look the external appearance and stairs, but are quite clean and very characteristic inside.
Are you looking for more than 1 room? single or double? I could give you more advices..
From Pozzallo to catania, absolutely bus from Pozzallo or Ispica or Ragusa.
I think about 2 hours, frequent schedule only in summer.

Keep them as simple as possible. You will have to pack-unpack several times, so eb as light as possible. A soft shoe for the days. Long walks on city as well as historical places. At night it depends on your choices. You may need a chic sandal.
A hat is a must. You can buy from local market as well. Sun creams. Factor 15 or more....
I'm no Catholic, so I'll watch my mouth.
Cardinal Dusmet's dessicated body is on display at the Cathedral. Apparently he's on his way to Sainthood one of these centuries, but I'm not sure of that. His face is covered by a silver deathmask.
Interesting story regarding il Cardinale, told to me by one of the Cathedral staff: he is attributed with having saved Catania from destruction. One of the regular eruptions on Etna released lava towards the city, and everybody got pretty worried, as they should. Cardinal Dusmet took a veil, supposedly St. Agatha's, and dropped it in the path of the lava. Where it was dropped, the lava stopped, and the veil did not burn. Take this story as you find it.
Sicilia (in Italian) or Sicily as the English call it was beautiful ending of a beautiful summer. I spent 2 whole months by the seaside in Croatia with my friend Lea, and as most people went back to work or school in September, my class and I flew to Sicilia.
From Ljubljana to Trieste airport by bus- we boarded a flight (with Alitalia) to Rome, there we transffered to another plane which took us to Catania airport (east coast of the island)- we were staying in a hotel in S. Alessio, near an ancient city of Taormina.
Sicily is truly a place I will never forget.
