This enchanting coastal nature reserve has well-marked walking paths to unspoiled beaches of golden sand, and a chain of salt lakes that between October and March attract over 200 species of migratory birds including herons, flamingo, cranes, black storks and pelicans. For a one-hour walk leave the main car park, turn left and pick up a free large scale map from the info booth soon your p0ath will reveal the Pantano Grande, along duckboards through a forest of bamboo down to a fine beach with pale golden sand dominated by the ruins of an abandoned tonnara, a tuna processing plant, dating back to 1920s where canned tuna was invented. Eventually you arrive to the stunning cliff-hugged bay of Cala Mosche, one of the most beautiful bays in Sicily

The interior of this church is stunning, the decoration is of very high quality and there is a peaceful contemplative atmosphere. We were told by our excellent guide Annalise that it was done by a top painter from Palermo and what the different colours signify. The tour of the tower was interesting, the daughters of the wealthy families were sent here as nuns, but it is now a seminary for the priesthood. It was an easy climb up to the tower with no scary drops, and there are 360 degree views from the top.

if you are in Sicily and you miss Noto, well, you are not in Sicily. One of the most beautiful baroque masterpieces of Italy, Unesco World Heritage since 2002, it is an open air museum. Must see: the Cathedral, strolling on the Main Street at night, all the churches with hidden treasures, and the little FANTASTIC restaurants along the little side roads. Avoid the Main Street to eat , they are just tourist traps. Go down and choose the first or second street parallel to the main one, any place will satisfy your palate at a fair price. You are in Sicily, you are in Noto, paradise is a step away.

There is nothing to say about the buildings along this part of the street that outstanding. Architecture, light coloured stone and on a sunny day it is like magic.
