Noto
A Unesco protected treasure
Create memories of a lifetime in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe - Noto! This baroque jewel of the south-east of Sicily attracts tourists from all over the world but yet keeps a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. More than 300 churches, splendid architecture, mediaval streets, magnificent squares, the majestic beautiful stairs of the main cathedral and a traffic free center, are just a glimp to boost your admiration when you will first discover Noto. And it is only 2 km away from villa Talè Kà.
A mundane city
While offering so much beauty, Noto is also the place to be to find everything you want in the many shops, the best restaurants and bars. Every evening you can enjoy young and old parading in the main road, in an enchanting light decor
Ragusa
Another Unesco jewel hidden in the mountains
At about 45 minutes driving through beautiful landscapes from villa Talè Kà, another baroque city with exceptional beauty awaits you in the mountains: Ragusa. Well worth the trip and easy to combine with other cities like Scicli and Modica.
Scicli
Often forgotten but so beautiful
Also about 45 minutes away from villa Talè Kà, yet another baroque city, Scicli, with ancient caves carved into the surrounding mountains, is a must-see. Visit the high posted churches overlooking the city at each side of the center and enjoy breathtaking views!
Modica
Combine exceptional architecture with succulent chocolate...
The trendy city of Modica has 2 totally different but yet equally beautiful cathedrals, placed at strategic spots. A challenging walk but more than worth the efforts to visit them both. And for those who love chocolate (who doesn't? ) an endless choice of chocolate tastes awaits you,...and it will never melt from the heat thanks to there unique ingredients and manufacturing procedure.
Ortigia / Siracusa
History rules in the unique capital of the province.
Only 30 minutes away from villa Talè Kà, the capital of the province Siracusa with it's historic peninsula Ortigia is a must-see! For those looking for exclusive shopping, or a walk on the famous boulevard Foro Vittorio Emanuele II along the yacht marina, this will also be a delight, but do not forget to visit the historic breathtaking center. Also the Neapolis Archaeological park with the Roman amphitheatre, is well worth the visit.
National Parks
Nature in all it's wildest and most beautiful aspects
Sicily is not only the host of some great cities (and the list above is far from complete) but you can also enjoy the incredible beauty of nature in some spectacular national parks. Some of them are only a few steps away from villa Talè Kà and others are at most 2hrs driving (Etna). Be well prepared if you decide to pay them a visit as the weather and the relief can be demanding and unpredictable but if you have a chance to experience their magnitude and beauty, you will never forget!
