La Dolce Vita Sicily Tour
Day 1
Catania
Our first stop is Catania, famous for its Pescheria market. Indeed, the market gives a sense of timelessness and a great atmosphere.
Also, we will admire the Duomo and the famous Bellini gardens.
Syracuse
Afterwards, we will move on to Syracuse. Here we will visit the old city of Ortigia and the Duomo.
Also, you will have a light lunch and a tour by boat around the bay.
During the boat tour, you wonder the Temple of Athena, the coloured streets and the large baroque palazzos.
The archaeological site of Syracuse contains the remains of the ancient city. Also, you will see the active Greek amphitheatre.
In the afternoon, we will move to Avola. The reason why the city is famous is the Sicilian wine Nero D’avola. Here, we will visit a local winery for tasting and sampling of local products.
Noto
Our final stop for the evening is Noto.
Here you will have the opportunity to wander around this baroque town. Moreover, here is where we will spend the night.
Day 2
Modica
After breakfast, we head to Modica. As we pass over the 300m-high Guerrieri Bridge, we catch the first glimpse of Modica.
In the past, Modica was badly damaged in the 1693 earthquake. After, Sicilians rebuilt it in Baroque style.
At first sight, you will see that the city is divided into two parts, “higher” and “lower”.
Palazzos and houses rise from the bottom of the gorge. They seem stacked one on top of the other.
Moreover, Modica is the custodian of a 400-year tradition of Sicilian chocolate making.
During the tour, we will visit one of the oldest chocolate shops in Modica. In addition, you will experience this Aztec chocolate recipe.
Ragusa Ibla
Prior to leaving, we will also visit the baroque church of San Giorgio.
For lunch, we will visit a world-class winery. Then, our journey proceeds towards one of the best preserved old towns in Sicily, Ragusa Ibla.
Separated from Ragusa by a deep ravine, this fairy-tale town is home to the UNESCO listed “Giardino Ibleo”. As our guide will explain to you, it is a wonderful botanical garden with splendid views.
Palazzolo Acreide
Our last stop of this La Dolce Vita Sicily Tour is Palazzolo Acreide. This charming laid-back town was built in the shadow of the Greek settlement Akrai.
Stroll the pretty baroque streets and visit the town’s central focus Piazza del Popolo. Also, you will visit the small ancient Greek amphitheatre.
On leaving Palazzolo, we head back to your favoured destination.
