Villa Sirene Noto

vicinity

The wonderful coast in Southeast Sicily, offers many opportunities for outdoor and seaside trips. The Cava d'Ispica, a kilometre-long deep gorge, is particularly suitable for hikes in Sicily. Rock crevices and natural caves accompany this trail, on which you can discover the traces of prehistoric people. The lush Mediterranean scrub and small, colorful gardens, which are tended by the few remaining inhabitants, add to the charm of this place. This corner of Sicily is also very interesting from an ornithological point of view because of the wide variety of birds. The Bruno and Longarini marshes are saltwater pools separated from the sea by dunes. On the banks, there is vegetation typical of wetlands, in which migratory birds live. Birdwatchers can watch pond chickens, swampscocks, partridges, mallards, heron ducks and redshanks here. San Lorenzo is the ideal place to experience the sea; its sandy beach is ideal for families and further south, on Capo Passero and Isola delle Correnti, is ideal for windsurfing and kite surfing in Sicily thanks to the winds. Small fishing villages are located on the coast, which consist partly of sandy beaches and partly of rocks. Charming places where life still has its old rhythm. Some places have become famous thanks to the television series “Il Commissario Montalbano”, a fictional character by Andrea Camilleris played by actor Luca Zingaretti. Modica has a special event for those with a sweet tooth, the “ChocoBarocco Modica — Chocolate Meets Art”, an event in which art and chocolate come together.
