Archaeo-Trekking and Local Food Tasting.

May 1st, 2022
A hiking Sunday for Labor Day. We thought it would be wonderful to combine a brisk, invigorating walk with visits to sites of interest and a delicious tasting break. Along the way we will visit the archaeological site of Castelluccio, a prehistoric village located on the edge of the Iblei mountain range near Noto, first studied by Paolo Orsi between 1892 and 1893. The village was built in an excellent defensive position atop a rocky spur, surrounded by narrow, deep river valleys. The traces of the village on this ridge are clearly visible thanks to various excavations. To wrap up our hiking day, we will arrive at Contrada San Giacomo in a characteristic Feudo (historic estate) where the tasting will take place.

Fee: € 25.00 – Includes guide services, accident insurance, excursion organization, and the tasting.
Not included: fuel costs for travel.
Meeting point: Sunday, May 1st at 09:30 AM, Strada Provinciale 81 towards Testa dell’Acqua, 1.5 km before reaching the Necropoli di Castelluccio. Click the link below for the Google Maps location.
