To Noto, UNESCO heritage

To get to Noto, which is a city that was highly recommended to visit for its Baroque rebuild after the 1693 earthquake that leveled most of southeastern Sicily, it was only a 2 and 1/2 hour bike ride. This leaves lots of time on this hot day to visit the beach.

I had a list of 10 recommended beaches that were labeled the most beautiful but as I was riding I saw this platform that was a public beach but felt more like that private high-end setup on this beautiful rocky cove. I stayed there for hours napping on a canapé. On to Spiaggia Fontana Bianche, a fine white sand beach where I swam and napped some more. What a feeling to just relax in the warmth.

Of course I got lost again riding up into the hills and that's how you find the unexpected. A way to build a flat roof with tile and an implementation of an infinity pool in a manner that really stood out. I had to climb some very steep dirt roads to find this area though. I saw a classic Citroen Mehari, just like the one we owned and drove in the late 70s. Then set up camp near Noto and went into town for dinner out.Okumaya devam et
