We’re slated to tour the nature-focused archaeological site of Noto’s ancient Greek colony. Our journey takes us into the Carosello Nature Reserve, traversing a rocky trail traditionally used by donkeys within the old quarry. Here, we stumble upon Byzantine-era tanneries carved into prehistoric caves. After a devastating earthquake in 1693, Noto, now referred to as ‘the miniature Medieval Pompeii’, was reduced to ruins and has since become a significant archaeological site known for its rich history, believed to have been established around 448 BC. by Ducezio, the Sicilian monarch. Our exploration continues through the stunning landscapes of the Cava Carosello Nature Reserve, unveiling exotic lakes nestled within magnificent canyons, relentless mountain trails offering exciting challenges, lush rivers and frothy waterfalls.
