A walk through these ruins is absolutely fascinating.

We were here in March, and you can jump in and there's no one around. It's really beautiful here.

The industrial monument can be entered. There is also an animal museum there.

Beautiful corner, even if the descent from the car park is not easy, but they are apparently currently working on renewing the path (as of October 2024). Jumping in and lying around is allowed, it's a lot of fun. On the way back you can take a long walk and enjoy magnificent views down into the gorge, after another climb you then cross the road back to the car park. Entrance at the top: adults 2€, children 1€, parking 4€, worth it! Getting there from Syracuse approx. 45m

Calamosche Beach, located near Noto inside the Vendicari Reserve, is a small bay with crystal clear water and sandy seabeds, enclosed between two rocky promontories. Renowned for its wild beauty and calm sea, it can be reached with a short walk on foot.

These natural pools, surrounded by a breathtaking gorge, offer a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of the Sicilian landscape and cool off in clear, fresh water. However, the path to the Laghetti is demanding and requires good physical fitness. Many visitors point out that the way back, which leads uphill, can be particularly strenuous. Despite the challenge, the goal is undoubtedly worth it: clear water in a natural, pristine environment offers the perfect way to cool off on hot days. Visitors should definitely bring enough drinking water with them, as temperatures can be very high, especially at lunchtime, and shade is rare along the way. The best time for the hike is late afternoon, when much of the trail is in the shade. The Cava Grande is known not only for its water pools, but also for the historic necropolises - burial caves from the 13th to 8th centuries BC, which can be found on the opposite side of the valley. These offer an additional cultural incentive for the hike. However, visitors should be aware that routes through the terrain can be technical and potentially dangerous. Special equipment and prior knowledge may be required to complete the hike safely. Additionally, parts of the area may be closed due to safety concerns, such as unstable rock walls following fires.
