    Suggested itinerary: You will go to Siracusa, one of the most interesting archaeological sites on the island with its Archaeological Park, the Roman Amphitheater, the Greek Theatre, the Ear of Dionysius, the Cordari Cave, Ortigia 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 characteristic domes that dominate the city. Ragusa has been included in the UNESCO list, with 18 sites declared a World Heritage Site. Overnight stay at the hotel.

DAY 3: MODICA & NOTO

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

    Suggested itinerary: Today you will be able to discover the lesser-known part of Sicily, dominated by the sumptuous 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 especially known for its chocolate as well as its wonderful buildings. We recommend wandering through the alleys, always moving upwards; once you reach the highest part of the hill you can admire a wonderful panorama of the city. Continue your tour by going to Noto, included by UNESCO in the list of World Heritage Sites in 2002. Cross 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.
