In Noto you can walk among the white streets to reach Palazzo Ducezio, visit the church of Santa Chiara and the splendid cathedral of San Nicola, stroll along via Nicolaci and its sweet balconies, see the Fountain of Hercules and get lost among the refined tapestries of the Municipal Theatre.

Visit Villa Tellaro

The walking tour of Noto continues until it reaches the archaeological site of Villa Tellaro, a rich residence near the river from which it takes its name, to admire the wonderful mosaics from the 4th century AD.

Villa Tellaro originated under a late 18th-century farmhouse, and has undergone numerous renovations. Since 2008 it has been available to the public, who by visiting it can appreciate its structure erected around a vast space of columns.

Part of the beautiful mosaic flooring has been preserved over time and still represents its leading decorative element. The depictions in the mosaics refer to the main figures of Homer’s Iliad and the tragedies of Aeschylus.

Guided tour to discover the seaside village of Marzamemi

The full immersion of the tourist walk ends in Marzamemi: the most evocative seaside village in all of Eastern Sicily.

A typical fishing village continues to welcome tourists from all over the world to admire its beauty and scenicness. Once in Marzamemi you come across the Balata, from the Arabic Balad which means stone slab, typical of ancient pavements.
