This trip takes you into the southernmost of all Italian reserves, the amazing Vendicari Nature Reserve, a major resting place for migratory birds set along the coastline. Hidden beaches, stunning views of lagoons, sand dunes and the rocky coastline beckon for a refreshing swim in the sea. The area is dominated by the antique medieval watchtower built to protect it against pirates; today it is still possible to see the remains of this important port destroyed by a terrible earthquake in 1613. Bird watching and sea bathing are permitted, so be prepared! Later you continue to the splendid baroque town of Noto, famous for its 18th century lovely golden limestone buildings and churches. Noto’s grand main street, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, offers an architectural vista unique in the world for the unity and harmony of its Baroque style, emphasized by the natural beauty of the rose colored stone used to build the town. Your driver/tour leader will provide you with the various materials related to your walk (directions, maps and mobile phone) including suggestions how to find restaurants, shops etc..
