Noto was completely rebuilt in the Baroque fashion after an earthquake completely destroyed the original town in 1693. The main attraction of Noto is the marvellous architecture of the city and the historical legacy that infuses these gently crumbling streets. The architectural highlights of Noto are easy to find, located as they are, on or around the elegant main street; the Corso Vittorio Emmanuelle. If possible try to visit Noto at night (or at the end of the day) this gives the city an completely different vibe.
Keep an eye out for
Noto has a lot one way streets, make sure not to get lost looking for a place to park (especially in big campervans). Just outside the main area are some bigger carparks.
Castel Del Monte is an unique castle, unlike any other castle I've seen. Its octagonal shape make it one of a kind and thats probably why its on UNESCO's list.
Lake Compotosto is one of Europe's largest water reservoirs, it has the best views on the Gran Sasso and the fascinating landscapes of the Monti della Laga.
The layout of the town is clearly visible and its most important structures were its temple, forum, basilica, baths and its 'macellum' or indoor market.
Earthquakes destroyed half of Craco, leaving just 1.800 people living in the village. They had to leave Craco in 1963 making it an incredible ghost town.
Ragusa Ibla is the old part of the city Ragusa. The historic center is mainly about the cathedral Duomo San Giorgio, a gorgeous building (both inside and out).
Segesta, as opposed to the larger parks with temples, is all about the story. Although the extremely well-preserved temple and amphitheater are amazing sights.
Riserva Naturale Orientata del Monte Còfano is a great park to go hiking or cycling. It offers great views on what probably is the nicest part of Sicily.
Monte Monaco (532m) is the most northern mountain of Sicily and the top of Monte Monaco has some great views on San Vito Lo Capo and the National Park.
