Sicily: drive to Siracusa / around Siracusa – 12.-15.2.26

The first stop was at Avola. The town is laid out in a hexagonal pattern.

Impresssions from the journey up the coast.

At Capo Ognina.

On this coast the damages of the recent storm are badly visible 😦

It’s an interesting stretch of coastline.

We had a snack at a pizzeria.

At the Capo Murro di Porca we walked to the lighthouse.

It’s quite tricky to walk on the carst rocks.

The lighthouse is not in good condition.

Interesting details.

Approaching Siracusa …

… and looking at it from opposite the bay. We never went into the town itself. Looking back, we think it’s a shame – it is clearly a beautiful city.

The campsite „Caravan Garden“, run by two young women, suited us well – and it has lovely showers 😉

We then tried to find the „Riserva Naturale Orientata Saline di Priolo“ …

… and after some searching, we actually found it!

Some beautiful flowers …

… and even some flamingos 🙂

But overall we weren’t very impressed.

Siracusa was very badly hit by the recent storm 😦 The restaurant Bagno 64 tried to make the best of the situation to look after its guests.

Different animals, and other details.

Another day we first drove through parts of Siracusa …

… then walked (only about 10 minutes, because it was so tiny!) through the „Saline di Siracusa“.

Part of the „Riserva Naturale Orientata Fiume Ciane“ is a walking trail along the river Ciane. It is officially closed, but we could still walk through it.

Papyrus grows all along the little stream.

It was a lovely walk, despite being quite wet at times.

The evening sky 🙂
