Description
Heading towards to Noto, famous for its fine buildings of the early 18th century, many of which are considered to be among the finest examples of Sicilian baroque style. It is a place of many religious buildings and several palaces. The city was rebuilt after the devastating earthquake of 1693 in a different position from the one in which the old city is set and the new location was chosen for its benefits in the construction of a city. Dubbed the “Stone Garden” because many of the newer structures are built of a soft tufa stone, which assume a honey tonality under sunlight.
Nearby we will arrive in the Villa Romana del Tellaro, It is a Roman villa dating from the late Roman Empir on Sicily and It has a floor which was decorated with mosaics.
Then we will move to Marzamemi, one of the most charming and authentic seaside villages in the south east of Sicily. It is surrounded by the deep blue Ionian sea which creates two natural small seaports along the coast, called “Fossa” and “Balata.” The multicoloured harbours abound with blue, red and yellow-coloured Sicilian fishermen’s boats rocking slowly over the sea.
