Noto and ….surrounding areas

Excursions

 

 

Noto

A walk to discover different souls of the town: from churche sto palaces, wandering through the alleys of the working-class districts, surrounded by the “eclectic baroque” of the Stone Garden.

 

 

Vendicari

Nature reserve and humid area of international interest, Vendicari offers his visitors a unique natural landscape: ponds, vegetation and different species of animals and finally, unforgettable glimpses of Mediterranean Sea.

 

 

Vendicari, Marzamemi e Portopalo

Sea Tales, Tonnara Tales: typical places of the common people tradition and important economical activities until the last century, tuna-fishing mills seem still to resound the characteristic songs of the mattanza (last step of tuna fishing).

 

 

Villa Romana del Tellaro

A dive in the archaic past of a multiethnic land: roman empire traces hidden by a nineteenth-century farm have been finally revealed through the gorgeous mosaics discovered in the ‘70s.

 

 

Noto Antica

On the top of the Alveria hill stood the old Netum: a walk along the ruins of the ancient Noto going down till the Tanneries, large places carved in the rocks with tanks and water raceways to tan hides.
