(Post #6 – April) Ciao Sicilia!

Our last stops in Sicily – Noto and Syracuse

San Francisco of Noto

We left Agrigento heading to Syracuse but had heard that Noto was a Baroque jewel on the south-east coast of Sicily. (And it looked like a good lunch spot!

It was a beautiful town with a pedestrian street through the main historic district. We wandered around after a lovely meal.

Syracuse!

One of our favorite places in Sicily
The Duomo with relics of St. Lucia-a patron saint of the city.

If you are planning a trip on the east coast of Sicily, this beautiful coastal city is well worth visiting! Known for its remarkable historical heritage and its charming old town: Ortigia Island, we were lucky in our hotel and found it the perfect place to spend our last few days in Sicily!

The city has wonderful markets and restaurants and fountains. We found a fun place near the waterfront and had a fantastic lunch. Our Italian is improving for food and beverage choices!
