| The flower festival is held annually in May in Noto in Siracusa province. There is always a lot of people participating. Noto itself is really nice town to visit in anytime, but specially during this flower festival the whole town starts blossoming. |
|
So what is the special thing about Infiorata di Noto?
They prepare a street with flowers and flowers leafs. Actually it looks like a huge decorated carpet and you definitely should see that from close distance, even if it means waiting and queueing a bit. You should see it as well from higher level from a balcony situated in front of the flower "carpet". From there you can see the Mediterranean Sea also.
Meanwhile visiting the town you could just have a lunch break at the Cathedral Square have tasty sandwich, made of horse meat, or two, if you like! One has to eat, right? You can easily spend whole day visiting churches, museums, theatre and lots of other local attractions.
Highly Recommended!

This is a real Sicilian folklorist thing, not just a tourist attraction. Most of the buyers are local people and few wandering tourists. Open daily except on Mondays from 8 AM till lunch, more or less. Probably you already know that punctuality isn't an issue in Sicily.

I Woke up early in the morning, grabbed my photo camera to shoot some pictures and to share this experience with you. The fish market is located behind the main square Piazza Duomo. When you find that just follow the noise (and smell). These sellers are screaming in very loud voice, they have to beat the competitor. You won't feel that you are in Europe at all. All the fish is fresh, so the smell isn't that bad what you could imagine.
It's amazing to see how fishermen and marketers cut and clean the fish. The ground is wet so it's recommended to wear some closed shoes. You can find fruit and meat as well in the zone.

Domain of the sun, citrus smell merged with the lullaby of birds. A lazy wave on the shore, a grumble of the volcanic giant in his smoking red dress, the punctual horn of cars and motorbikes, the funny chatting of people, majestic and always different views. Is this Sicily?
Difficult to enclose sensations and impressions, memories and sounds when you have the possibility to try them by yourself in an unusual immersion of history, nature and beauties. The rhythm of this island, so fast and slow in someway, gives the visitor the idea of uniqueness. Time here is different, food is different, night and day have the characteristic of a necessary and endless exploration. You always have the impression to need more time to spend here, not to miss some breathtaking sightseeing, to experience mythology and entertaining, so much there's to do! If you are searching for a travel which leads you to the origins of culture, take your breath and immerse yourself in this exciting land!
