Noto and Syracuse

نشرت: 20.07.2024

You can see from the number of photos that there is a lot to see in Noto and Syracuse.

Now we know why we hardly met any other tourists. Apparently they all hang out in the east of Sicily 😉.

Not without reason. Syracuse's old town in particular has a lot to offer.

So we stayed at a nearby campsite for two nights. The owners drive the campers wherever they want to go several times a day. It's an adventure. The driver tells funny stories throughout, and every now and then he even grabs the steering wheel of the very antique vehicle. So we drive the 3 km to the city center at a maximum of 30 km/h and back again late in the evening.

Noto is beautifully decorated and a walk is fun. The heat wave that is currently sweeping across southern Europe makes sightseeing tiring, however, and so regular breaks for drinks and shade are needed - or Julius does one of his infamous "sessions".

This was also the case this time in a small café in Noto. Anita even had to intervene because a queue had already formed in front of the toilet and some people were already afraid that something had happened to him.

Back to Syracuse. The city has a history that goes back thousands of years and you notice it at every turn. Historical buildings dating back to the ancient Greeks, large museums, a very fine historical town center, palazzi, large freshwater fountains with the very rare Egyptian papyrus, the ear of Dionysus, Greek amphitheater, another Sicilian wedding and much more (oh yes - I was already sitting on the stairs before the "bride" 😉). The atmosphere in the evening is wonderful.

In short, Syracuse alone is worth a trip of several days.
