Sicily: Pantalica, Valle dell’Anapo – 13.2.26

One of our day trips from Siracusa took us to the Valle dell’Anapo. Photos of the journey there.

There is an entrance gate to reach the valley and go for the walk. It’s part of the „riserva naturale orientata Pantalica“ –> Necropolis of Pantalica .

At the beginning there is a tunnel. A former railway line is being used as a walking trail.

And then it’s just beautiful 🙂

The river Anapo flows through the valley.

Kurt helped a member of the park staff to clear branches out of the way.

There were plenty of pretty flowers.

Some small tunnels, vertical rocks, lots of vegetation, no people, the river, beautiful weather – what more do you want 🙂

We also saw lots of holes in the rocks from the tombs, dating from the 13th to the 7th centuries BC. These necropolises are open to visitors, although access is not via the gorge but from above.

We enjoyed this walk immensely! But we had to turn back sometime – the gates at the entrance were to close at 4pm.

In some places the holes from the tombes are clearly visible, high up.

Some butterflies and other creatures.

We also liked the fence. And of course the light 🙂

On the way back to Siracusa.
