“We love Noto. This was our second visit however this time we went for the Christmas holidays. The weather was temperate and comfortable and the tourists were at a minimum. Good for us! It is such a charming and manageable town. We elected to stay right in town to minimize car travel and that was the best decision. Great restaurants and of course, Cafe Sicilia for almond granita. Easy side trips to Siracusa, Modica and Ragusa too.”
Spend about four hours in Noto with an air-conditioned vehicle, guided sightseeing, free time for shopping, and a Sicilian granite tasting. Guide Giovanni has led some departures, while the small group size is capped at 15. Paid museum and park entrances are not included.
