Itinerary

DAY 1: RAGUSA AREA

  • Arrival at Catania airport. After picking up the rental car, head towards the Ragusa area. Check-in at the hotel (rooms will be available after 2:00 PM). No activities are planned for this day. Free time to explore the city. Overnight at the hotel in the Ragusa area.

DAY 2: SYRACUSE & RAGUSA

  • Breakfast at the hotel. Today we suggest spending the day visiting Syracuse and Ragusa.

    Suggested itinerary: you will go to Syracuse, one of the most interesting archaeological sites on the island with its Archaeological Park, the Roman Amphitheater, the Greek Theater, the Ear of Dionysius, the Grotta dei Cordari, and Ortygia Island, the oldest part of the city with its splendid cathedral. Returning to Ragusa, you can admire the historic center of Ragusa "Ibla," characterized by numerous churches and palaces in Baroque style, as well as the distinctive domes that dominate the city. Ragusa has been included on the UNESCO list, with 18 sites declared World Heritage. Overnight at the hotel.

DAY 3: MODICA & NOTO

  • Breakfast at the hotel. Today we suggest spending the day visiting the Baroque towns of Modica and Noto.

    Suggested itinerary: Today you can discover the lesser-known part of Sicily, dominated by the lavish and majestic Baroque style of the buildings, characterized by numerous UNESCO sites and also known for the television series "Inspector Montalbano." Modica, a UNESCO World Heritage city, is particularly famous for its chocolate as well as for its wonderful buildings. We recommend strolling through the alleys, always walking uphill; once you reach the top of the hill you can enjoy a wonderful view of the city. Continue your tour by going to Noto, included by UNESCO on the list of World Heritage sites in 2002. Walk through the famous Arch, stroll through the center admiring the wonderful aristocratic palaces with their famous decorated balconies, the sumptuous churches rich in decorations, the cathedral with its staircase and the city theater, all built in Baroque style.
