The Area
Tula is set above a fertile plain between the fascinating Baroque town of Noto and the beautiful natural reserve of Vendicari.
Noto is the most easterly of a chain of baroque towns, including Modica, Ragusa, and Scicli. All were all rebuilt in flamboyant style following a major earthquake in 1693, and today they are protected as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Val di Noto.
Vendicari Nature Reserve, meanwhile, boasts some of the finest sandy beaches in Sicily, which are pleasingly under populated even in the height of summer. Vendicari is also home to thousands of migrating flamingos and other species of bird, not to mention the sea turtles that nest on its beaches. Just to the west of Vendicari are the remains and superb mosaics of Villa Romana del Tellaro, a 4th century Roman villa.
If hiking in the hills is your thing, then there is some spectacular scenery in the rushing streams and waterfalls of Cassibile and at the Paleolithic burial sites in the dramatic valley of Pantalica, which, along with fascinating, historic Syracuse form another UNESCO World Heritage Site.
