Sicily By Nature Tickets and Tours

Greek Theater - Ortigia walking tour

Ancient History and Dramatic Views You Won’t Forget

The Greek Theatre of Siracusa is a remarkable place to visit in Sicily. Carved into the hillside, this ancient theatre has plenty of history and character, while its impressive scale and views over the surrounding landscape make it especially memorable. Take your time exploring the site and imagining the performances that once took place here—this is somewhere to slow down and appreciate the atmosphere. A wonderful combination of ancient culture, architecture and Mediterranean scenery. Definitely worth including in your visit to Siracusa!

Vendicari - Sicily's best coast nature reserve ( Birdwatching & Archeology )

Vendícari the best wetland in Sicily for birders.

Just drive into this special place and enjoy. Birders must go here if traveling in Sicily. No need for a tour. Several km of trails, a few observation blinds, wetlands full of flamingoes shorebirds and waterfowl. A few euros for parking and a few for entry. Some historical buildings on one point going back 600 years. After the walk there is a little wine bar where snacks and coffees are available. Or if you want a gourmet lunch there is an outdoor service with some nice wines available. Doesn’t look like much but the food sure does.

Noto - Villa del Tellaro (roman mosaics) - Marzamemi walking tour

Wonderful Southeastern Sicily in one day with a great guide!

We came to Sicily on a cruise after many years and we wished to concentrate in just one day as many venues as possible. Carlo has been just great! We arrived at Catania port in the late morning and moved straight to the picturesque fishing village of Marzamemi. After a quick delicious snack with Sicilian arancini we made a short but interesting visit to the natural reserve of Vendicari, where we have been able to photograph Pink Flamingos, Herons and other migratory birds in their resting sanctuary. We then moved to the Villa Romana del Tellaro to admire the wonderful mosaics recently unearthed, depicting tigers and magnificent scenes of the life of a patrician roman family of the late empire. Just few minutes later we were strolling around the center of Noto, the capital of Sicilian Baroque architecture, with its imposing palaces and churches. We then moved to Syracuse, one of the richest and most influential cities of the so called Magna Grecia. We visited the island of Ortigia, the wonderful Cathedral and the Fonte Aretusa before moving to the archaelogical area were we visited the Greek Theater, the Roman Theater and the Ear of Dionisio. Finally we returned in time to Catania to board our ship in the evening. Carlo has been just great! Not only in planning and organizing such a condensed tour in few hours totally hassle-free, but also providing us plenty of information. He is a naturalist, but he is also passionate in history and art and has made our short visit to this part of Sicily a really wonderful experience! Bravo!
