Full description Embark on a captivating journey through the Val di Noto, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to explore two magnificent Baroque towns. After a scenic one-hour drive through the picturesque countryside, we arrive at Modica, a town divided into the "higher" and "lower" parts, connected by charming flights of steps. Marvel at the palaces and houses that seemingly rise from the bottom of the gorge, creating a stunning architectural spectacle.

Modica is renowned for its 400-year-old tradition of Sicilian chocolate-making. Having been part of the Spanish kingdom, Sicily was among the first to receive new foodstuffs from South America. Modica's cold-worked chocolate is still crafted using ancient Aztec techniques, with hand-ground cocoa beans and sugar. Indulge in the flavors of chili pepper, cinnamon, or vanilla, as chocolate shops offer an opportunity to witness the skilled chocolatiers at work. For true chocolate lovers, a sweet experience awaits: a workshop where you can create your own chocolate bar, immersing yourself in this unique tradition of homemade chocolate in the Baroque city of Modica.

Continuing our journey, a short drive brings us to Ragusa, one of Sicily's most captivating towns. Prepare to be awestruck as you set eyes on the lower part of the town, which was almost entirely destroyed by the devastating earthquake. Today, Ragusa stands as a testament to the Baroque style, captivating visitors with its architectural splendor.

As the afternoon draws to a close, we return to Syracuse, cherishing the memories of our enchanting exploration of these timeless Baroque gems.
