East of Sicily
In this tour we propose a journey to discover the colours, smells and flavors of eastern Sicily.
Taormina
Food tip: Granita with “brioche col tuppo” (mulberry, almond, or mandarin flavors)
Elegant village at the top of the Ionian Sea, view of Etna, impressive Greek theater and lively streets.
Catania
Food tip: Pasta alla Norma (tomato, fried eggplant, salted ricotta) or horse meatballs
Volcanic city, baroque and chaotic in the best sense: nightlife, extraordinary fish market and Etna as a constant backdrop.
Syracuse - Ortigia
Food tip: Pasta with sardines or fresh fish in the trattorias of Ortigia
Ortigia is the historic heart of Syracuse: honey-colored stone, spectacular cathedral, market, surrounding sea and relaxed but elegant atmosphere.
Noto
Food tip: Cannoli
Capital of Sicilian Baroque: golden facades, scenic streets and a very chic but quiet atmosphere.
Marzamemi
Food tip: Tuna in all its forms or pasta with tuna bottarga
Ancient fishing village with tuna fishery, stone houses and tables in the square facing the sea.
Ragusa
Food tip: Scacce ragusane (stuffed focaccia, perfect for snacking) or Ragusano DOP cheese
Ragusa Ibla is a baroque labyrinth on the hill: balconies, churches, silence, incredible views.
Caltagirone
Food tip: Ricotta or pistachio desserts from local pastry shops (perfect with a stroll among the ceramics)
Capital of Sicilian ceramics: decorated staircase, artisan workshops and viewpoint on the hills.
Piazza Armerina
Food tip: Arancini, pasta alla Norma, and Nebrodi pork-based dishes are local must-tries
Piazza Armerina is a jewel of the Sicilian hinterland, famous for the extraordinary Villa Romana del Casale, a UNESCO heritage site, where perfectly preserved mosaics tell the story of ancient Roman life.
