Depart to explore the Val di Noto, home to two magnificent Baroque towns designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites. This area underwent extensive reconstruction in the Sicilian Baroque style following a devastating earthquake in 1693. After a scenic one-hour drive through the countryside, you'll arrive in Modica, characterized by its dual levels, connected by numerous steps, with palaces and houses nestled into the gorge.
Modica boasts a rich tradition of Sicilian chocolate-making, dating back 400 years. Influenced by its Spanish heritage, Modica's chocolate is crafted using ancient Aztec techniques, preserving its nutrients and flavors. You'll explore chocolate shops and watch chocolatiers at work. Then, you'll participate in a workshop to create your own chocolate bars.
Next, a short drive will take to Ragusa, one of Sicily's most captivating towns. Almost entirely rebuilt in Baroque style after the earthquake, Ragusa's lower part leaves a lasting impression with its stunning architecture.
