Ragusa and Modica Tour

A must-visit for lovers of culture, heritage and history of Sicily, this tour will guide you through the two charming towns of Ragusa and Modica in the Southern part of Sicily.

After arriving in Ragusa, you can walk through the winding streets enjoying the extraordinary architecture and wonderful views which is difficult to find nowadays.

Ragusa was listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002 thanks to its Baroque heritage.

The oldest part of the city, Ragusa Ibla, with the main Piazza and San Giovanni cathedral are especially picturesque.

If you wish to enjoy the splendid walks in the small streets of the historic centre and scale the 340 steps, it is highly recommended that you give heels a miss.

Next destination is Modica, which together with Val di Noto is included in the list of World Heritage sites by UNESCO for its historic centre, with its baroque architecture.

Modica is also full of architectural splendour such as San Giorgio cathedral and San Pietro church.

The town is also famous for its chocolate, and in particular for the cold production method that can be attributed to the era of Spanish rule.

On the way back we will enjoy a scenic drive through the countryside of Ragusa with its characteristic low, dry-stone walls marking the boundaries of fertile fields.
