From Siracusa
to Noto.
Noto is about 40 km south of Siracusa. By car, take the SS115 — 35–40 minutes. Alternatively, Interbus/AST coaches from the Bus Terminal in Siracusa, a 5-minute walk from the B&B: find out how to reach the B&B.
During the Infiorata the historic centre of Noto is closed to traffic. For updated timings and parking information, check the official website.
The UNESCO
baroque centre.
Noto has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002 as one of the finest examples of late Sicilian baroque: together with other towns rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake, it forms the baroque Val di Noto. Destroyed and entirely rebuilt, its churches and palaces lined along Corso Vittorio Emanuele — the Cathedral of San Nicolò, Palazzo Ducezio, the Church of San Domenico — make the afternoon stroll after the Infiorata equally memorable. Even richer with a guided tour of Noto.
Noto is worth visiting all year round.
The capital of Sicilian baroque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site: the Cathedral of San Nicolò, Via Nicolaci and the honey-coloured Corso, told by an authorized tour guide, with private transfer from the B&B included.
