Overview

Among the sparkling waters of the Plemmirio Marine Reserve, the Maddalena route reveals breathtaking sea views. The rustling of the waves and the salty air welcome the beginning of an adventure between nature and history.
From here, a jeep guides us through scenic roads to the suggestive Monte Alveira, residence of Ancient Noto. The atmosphere changes, and we find ourselves immersed in the charm of the ruins that tell centuries of stories.
The next stage is the descent into the Cava Carosello canyons. The hiking route takes us through its majestic rock walls, and we soon find ourselves among the ancient Byzantine tanneries dug into the caves, a tangible testimony of past trade and craftsmanship.
Along the way, the sound of waterfalls announces the approach to the hanging lakes. Here, the crystal clear waters are lost between the curves of the canyon, creating a heavenly setting. An irresistible opportunity for a refreshing natural bath.

Activity itinerary

Cava del Carosello
  • 2h
Under the blue sky of Cava Carosello, the path winds through centuries-old trees creating a portal to wild beauty. Intertwined fronds filter the light, while the scent of moss reveals the presence of an ancient forest. The lakes, tranquil bodies of water, welcome you with the promise of freshness. Here, among the ruins of the Byzantine tanneries, the crystal clear waters tell the secrets of ancient craftsmen. A break, a dive into the past and into clear waters. The path winds between tannery walls adorned with ancient graffiti, traces of an era of production and forgotten trades. Along the banks, ancient mills emerge as silent guardians. The stone wheels, still now, tell stories of the streams that once turned them. The return to dusk is accompanied by the call of nocturnal birds, and the Cava Carosello, with its lakes, Byzantine tanneries and mills, dissolves in the twilight of the evening.
Noto Antica
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
In this hiking route, the call of the past merges with the majesty of nature, offering a unique experience through the eras that shaped Noto Antica. Among the paths, a journey through the eras is revealed. A path begins among Greek ruins that winds along Byzantine rock dwellings, revealing the vestiges of an era of splendour. Under the shade of centuries-old olive trees, the Roman walls emerge as silent sentinels of a glorious past. The remains of the ancient theatre open like an amphitheatre, reliving epic shows that animated the evenings of ancient Noto. The castle, a crossroads of civilisations, bears witness to medieval military ingenuity. The trail reveals fragments of frescoes, reminders of an era of opulence under Arab rule. The earthquake of 1669, a painful chapter, left scars on these places. The ruins stand as testaments to the strength of nature and human resilience.
Parco Marino del Plemmirio
  • 2h
The first lights of dawn colour the sky above Plemmirio, a magical nature reserve located near Syracuse. As the sun rises, embark on the Cammino della Maddalena, a hiking trail that reveals the untouched beauty of the Sicilian coast. Your steps begin on a cobbled path, surrounded by the enveloping scents of Mediterranean herbs. The low, dense scrub envelops you, offering its spectacle of colourful flowers and aromatic bushes. The call of sea birds mixes harmoniously with the sound of waves crashing on the rocky coast. The route winds along the cliff, offering breathtaking views of the deep blue Ionian Sea. At times, the path opens onto small pebble bays, inviting you to take a break and enjoy the sea breeze. The crystal-clear waters reveal underwater life, making each stop an opportunity to explore the hidden beauty of the Mediterranean
