At this point it is difficult to choose which part of Sicily to visit and which to leave out. Every corner of it deserves to be seen, sooner or later. If you do not know what to opt for, we suggest a tour of south-eastern Sicily. For south-eastern Sicily we mean the area containing the provinces of Catania, Syracuse and Ragusa.

The city of Ragusa lies on the Iblei Mountains, is only 20 km from the sea, is one of the symbols of Sicilian baroque and has a rich and varied food and wine culture. It is surrounded by unique landscapes.
