Details of the Day Trip

Commencing with a pick-up from your accommodation in Catania, prepare for a day of cultural immersion in Noto, Ragusa, and Modica. Are you ready to uncover the treasures of Sicilian Baroque? 

The adventure begins in Noto, affectionately dubbed "The Stone Garden" for its stunning Baroque edifices. As you wander through its streets, the grand Church of St Nicholas or Noto Cathedral will captivate your heart, along with the exquisite Church of San Domenico, both remarkable examples of 18th-century architecture that position the city as an icon of Baroque beauty globally. 

Following our exploration of Noto, we will venture to Ibla, the historic center of Ragusa. This area is rich in charm, where you can admire the distinguished facade of San Giuseppe  and the atmospheric Chiesa del Purgatorio, situated amidst an urban landscape of staircases, narrow lanes, and breathtaking views.

Next, our journey leads us to Modica, renowned not only for its splendid churches but also its distinguished culinary heritage. The magnificent Duomo of San Giorgio will undoubtedly leave you in awe! Here, you will enjoy some leisure time to wander through the town's inviting streets and savor a meal.

As Modica is particularly famous for its chocolate, we will visit several of its noteworthy chocolate shops, where they craft the renowned chocolate of Aztec descent , a true delicacy of the region.

After a fulfilling 8 hours, we will wrap up the day with a drop-off at your hotel.
