Indagare Tours: Baroque Towns

While you can easily explore the late Baroque towns of Sicily's southeastern part by yourself, driving in these hilltop villages can be a bit daunting. Those who just want to enjoy the views, as opposed to white-knuckle along tiny hairpin turns that wind up and up and up, should plan a day-long outing with one of Indagare's preferred guides.

The towns can be toured in a day (the drives between each is about 30 minutes). Noto is a lovely little spot for lunch or a late afternoon passeggiata (don’t miss a coffee, gelato or granite at Caffè Sicilia), while Modica and Ragusa are good places for dinner (Ragusa has an acclaimed two-Michelin star restaurant, while Modica’s eateries are rustic trattorias).
