Sicily’s Baroque and ancient grit, in one day. This private route is interesting because it strings together Fonte Aretusa by the water and Noto’s famous Baroque cathedral zone, with a driver who keeps the whole loop moving. I like that…
Catania feels different from a boat at sea. I like the private pace (no group scrambling) and the Sicilian lunch with aperitivo served while you sail, not when you’re stuck on land. The main thing to plan around is weather:…
