Among the sparkling waters of the Plemmirio Marine Reserve, the Maddalena route reveals breathtaking sea views. The rustling of the waves and the salty air welcome the beginning of an adventure between nature and history. From here, a jeep guides us through scenic roads to the suggestive Monte Alveira, residence of Ancient Noto. The atmosphere changes, and we find ourselves immersed in the charm of the ruins that tell centuries of stories. The next stage is the descent into the Cava Carosello canyons. The hiking route takes us through its majestic rock walls, and we soon find ourselves among the ancient Byzantine tanneries dug into the caves, a tangible testimony of past trade and craftsmanship. Along the way, the sound of waterfalls announces the approach to the hanging lakes. Here, the crystal clear waters are lost between the curves of the canyon, creating a heavenly setting. An irresistible opportunity for a refreshing natural bath.
