    The lower town doesn’t really have much to do beyond 2 hours. We tried to get lost and it wasn’t that easy so we decided to walk/hike back. The path is on the right side of duomo and it was fun adventure. The view on the Santa Maria de Scale is really good.

    Everywhere you look in central Noto is a stunning building. It is quite surreal to walk around. Most of the churches can be entered just for a donation but no set entrance fee.

    Amongst the historical wonders are lots of nice retail and food and beverage outlets.

    An amazing place to visit.

    Nice place to visit if you are in the area for Villa Romana.
    beautifull medieval narrow alleys.
    We came there for lunch after the Villa, it was exactly the right place for us.

    The Via Francesco Mormina Penna is particularly pretty, with a number of buildings and churches to see. It was close to our restaurant (Osteria Tre Colli). It is considered one of the important historical areas in Scicli.

    Piazza Duomo is a large square worth visiting. The architecture of the surrounding buildings is wonderful. The Cathedral is particularly amazing and a visit there would be more than justified. And of course there are numerous shops including cafes and restaurants.

    Main street leading through the city lined with shops and some nice buildings. Keep going and you reach Villa Bellini which is a public garden.

    There is an interesting nature combined with an interesting history. This is a nice canon. Sometimes you have to climb to its top, other times you have to descend to the river in order to continue further. The tour is difficult, but if you choose your own pace, a beautiful landscape awaits you.

    There are streets and then there is Via dei Crociferi in Catania. We visited for its wonderful architecture. There are some wonderful buildings along the length of this street. However the numerous baroque churches are absolutely amazing. And there is also the Teatro Antico! You need to walk the whole street to fully appreciate its beauty.

    Via Roma is a main street in the center of Palerm, the most important city in Sicily Island. It is a street between the historical center of the city and the Kalsa neighborhood. So, it is a place, you will see, if you walk around the center. Typical big street, not more.

    The castle is perched high on a rock above beautiful Taormina.

    The exterior walls are in decent condition and the tower you can climb offers sensational views down to Taormina and the surrounding coastline and countryside.

    The 10 euro entry price gets you an interesting audio guide and small gift.

    Worth the climb to visit.

    Except for a short detour, our walking tour was exclusively following this street. Unfortunately, we did not have much free time to visit the side streets and enter some palaces we saw only from the outside.

    This is an impressive statue in a beautiful square which also boasts a moderately sized traditional church.

    The square is surrounded by restaurants or you can sit and take it in alongside the fountain itself without paying for the privilege.

    Visited a lot of Italy over the years. Modica is unique, feels similar in some senses to Matera except that the local flavour is still the strongest taste in Modica.

    Borgo Storico Erice is the old town of this very cute Middle-Ages town called Erice and it is located in the North-Western part of Sicily Island. It is a very nice town, where you can walk and relax and visit a lot of monuments that are included in the Erice Card, which you can buy in the tourist office. We visited it in last December and pitifully some parts are closed like the castle and Bailo Gardens, but we could visit some churches, the main cathedral, we could go up to the bell tower and enjoy the views and also we visited some remains of the old town like gates walls and palaces. Also, we visited Torreta Peppoli, from which you can see the best views of the coast and Palermo. Very beautiful place.

    The architecture is old combined with new. During the winter one will only find the locals here but as soon as spring comes it is full of Italians from the north who have a summer place in Milazzo, together with people who are yacht owners. The center and sea front is always busy with traffic and quite difficult to park, but still exceptional for a stroll. Lovely town, in fact quite one of the best in Sicilia.
