Baroque Towns of Sicily & Chocolate Tasting

Sicily is a treasure trove of Baroque jewels like Noto, a city of extraordinary beauty. After being devastated by an earthquake in 1693, it was rebuilt in the current style that earned it Unesco World Heritage status. Its town centre is lined with honey-gold palaces and stunning buildings like the Church of Santa Chiara and Palazzo Ducezio. The driver will take you also to Ragusa Ibla, a beautiful hilltop town with a maze of picturesque lanes sneaking through ancient palaces and opening onto pretty squares, and Modica, a Baroque jewel that attracts sweet-toothed visitors with its famous chocolate shops and patisseries. The town is renowned for producing excellent chocolate and with this tour you will have the chance to indulge in a delicious chocolate tasting session. Then you will have some free time to explore Modica’s landmarks, including the theatrical Cathedral of San Giorgio, before returning to Taormina.
