Old Noto & Carosello Valley

Updated: May 9


If you feel like getting to know a remote corner of eastern Sicily and taking a nice excursion, don't miss the opportunity to discover the ruins of Noto Antica and the wonderful Carosello quarry.


- What does the service include?


Departure is from Noto or from a place to be agreed - with a comfortable 9-seater minibus authorised to transport passengers - to the archaeological site of Noto Antica and the Carosello quarry.


Your naturalist guide will take you through an ancient gate first inside the archaeological site of Noto Antica and then down the valley for a trek into the Carosello quarry.


These places combine archaeology, history and nature. In a single hike, you can admire the remains of the rich and invincible Noto Antica, the necropolis and visit the Carosello quarry, with its magnificent ponds, river of the same name, mills and ancient Byzantine tanneries, still clearly visible and so impressive for their state of preservation.


Visits to Noto Antica and the Carosello quarry can be made all year round, with the right safety conditions and according to the advice of your expert nature guide. In summer, it is possible to cool off in the cool waters of the river.


The visit to the Noto Antica site and the Carosello quarry will last approximately three to four hours. In the early afternoon, you will return in a comfortable minibus to the agreed location.
