THE “VALLE DEI TEMPLI” TREMITI ISLANDS ALBEROBELLO AND ITS TRULLIMATERA

SICILY - From Sirenusa Village

LICATA - Half Day Licata is a centre able to offer remarkable cues for a cultural and ar-tistic visit, beginning with its castles: the S. Angelo Castle, the S. Ni-cola and Gaffe Towers, and the Falconara Castle. Amongst thereligious buildings we note: the S. Agostino Church, the PurgatorioChurch, The Church of SS. Salvatore and the San Domenico Church(1618).

THE “VALLE DEI TEMPLI” - Full Day The Valle dei Templi is situated near the sea and it is part of the UNE-SCO World Heritage Site and also an important archaeological evi-dence of ancient Greek civilization. There are seven sacred placeswhose ruins it is possible to admire. One of these is the Temple ofHera with its rectangular plan and 34 columns, the Temple of Con-corde, which is still perfectly preserved, and the Temple of Castorand Pollux. The temples built with tuff stone assume a golden colourin the sunset, creating a surreal landscape.

CALTAGIRONE - Full DayA visit to the City passes by the Duomo of S. Giuliano, a Norman buil-ding which was reconstructed in the 17th century, in order to reachthe Piazza del Municipio (Municipal Square) where you can find thePalazzo Senatorio (15th century). There are many churches in theCity, amongst which those of the Cappuccini, of Salvatore and S.Maria del Monte. Caltagirone also offers important visits to museums:the Museo Regionale della Ceramica (Regional Museum of Ceramics),Villa Patti which hosts the Museum of Historic Villas and the CivicMuseum.

THE “VILLA ROMANA DE CASALE DI PIAZZA ARMERINA - Full DayDating back to the Roman period, Piazza Armeria is our starting pointto begin discovering the Enna province. In its central square, you willsee forty splendid and perfectly-preserved mosaics embellishing thegrand cathedral. The cathedral is composed of various venues ope-ning out around the main courtyard that sits in the middle of eighteenmarble columns or peristyles. The Villa is considered the best exam-ple of artwork from the Roman era, and has been proclaimed a UNE-SCO World Heritage Site.

RAGUSA - Full DayWhen visiting the City, the following are recommended: the Ibleo Re-gional Archaeological Museum which hosts an important collectionof ancient finds for different eras: Pre-Historic, Sicula, Greek andRoman. Nearby, it’s possible to visit the Cathedral of Saint John theBaptist (18th Century) and S. Maria delle Scale, which connects thetwo cities like the great bridges connecting Ragusa Superiore (UpperTown) to the Inferiore (Lower Town).One can therefore then visit theDuomo of S. Giorgio (1738) with its Neo-Classical dome.

SARDINIA - From Calaserena Village

VILLASIMIUS - Half Day The idyllic beaches and breathtaking landscape of the picturesqueformer fishing village of Villasimius attract increasing numbers of vi-sitors each summer. You can visit Fortezza Vecchia (the old fortress),which dates from the 17th century, dominates the harbour and isnow the scene of art exhibitions organized by an international artcentre. Nearby Capo Carbonara affords an lovely panoramic view ofthe sea. The area features small beaches and coves of every descrip-tion, as The Villasimius area has been declared as a marine naturepreserve, is well known among divers for its rich variety of marineflora and fauna. In Villasimius and the surrounding area there are ar-chaeological remains of Phoenician culture, as well as Roman ne-cropolises.

SAN PIETRO AND CARLOFORTE - Full DayPanoramic tour of the island and her wonderful beaches for swim-ming and snorkelling. Excellent beaches, both rocky and sandy, linethe coast of the island. Some of the cliff-top views are nothing shortof spectacular. On the other side of the island from Carloforte is afunctioning lighthouse (Capo Sandalo Lighthouse, now automated),locally known simply as 'il faro' and whose structure dates back tothe 1880s.

APULIA - From Torreserena Village and Gran Serena Village

MATERA - “THE SASSI AND RUPESTRIAN CHURCHES - Full Day(from both hotels)Ancient habitations dug into the tuff rock of a chalky plateau openup around a hollow, with the Gravina di Matera River flowing pastthis spectacular and unique city Roofs by turns become the founda-tions for new habitations on the levels overhead. Lots of narrow stre-

ets and alleyways fill up with the lights of the evening, giving the im-pression that one is strolling through a Nativity scene of papier-mâché. This is Matera, where the Rupestrian churches andfamous Sassi – the very peculiar settlements carved into the rock –were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. A walkthrough Matera’s historic center will transport visitors back into apast long-forgotten.

ALBEROBELLO AND ITS TRULLI - Full Day (from both hotels)The “trulli”, the characteristic cone-roofed housesof Alberobello, make up one of the 47 UNESCO World Heritage Sites inItaly. The name derives from the late Greek word for dome(τρούλος; in Italian, cupola), and refers to the ancient stonehouses with conical roofs, constructed with the abundant limestonefrom the plateau of Apulia’s Murge zone. These impressive and uni-que structures, are a example of architecture that is spontaneous,yet imperishable; to this day they are still used as homes. Alberobello,an inland village of the Province of Bari, is undoubtedly the Capitalof the Trulli: its historic center is integrally constituted by these ratherparticular white, pyramidal structures that make it so famous andidentifiable.

OSTUNI - Half Day (from Torreserena Village only)The hilltop town of just over 30,000 people is well worth visiting,thanks to the beautiful scenery on all sides. The view of the city froma distance is breathtaking; the white-washed homes cap the hilltop,juxtaposed with the jagged skyline of domes and towers. Views ofthe surrounding countryside are astounding, particularly to the east,where the cliffs and beaches of the Adriatic coastline can be clearlyseen.Ostuni is known as “the White Town” because all of its buildings arepainted white, and there is no end to the beautiful architecture. Pauseto take in the stunning view from the top of Corso Vittorio Emma-nuele. If the ocean wind is too strong, you can take refuge in the ar-cheological museum or in the duomo.

CASTELLANA CAVES - Half Day (from both hotels) The caves of Castellana are by now the biggest complex of caves inItaly, and can be found in the Murgia Area. Formed during the lastmillennia thanks to the constant leakage of water through the lime-stone ground, these caves were opened to the public for the firsttime in 1939.The view that can be enjoyed during a walk through the caves (thelongest itinerary is about 3 km) is amazing: stalactites, stalagmites,little lakes, ending in the "white cave" a stunning huge, shiny andscenic room formed only of white stalactites. The "white cave" isconsidered by most of the experts to be the best in the world. Forthis reason the caves of Castellana have often been chosen as a lo-cation for movies, events and important TV shows.

GALLIPOLI 131 km - Full Day (from Grand Hotel Serena only)Gallipoli's Old Town, built on an island now connected to the mainlandby a bridge, is picturesque and a nice place to stroll through its mazeof alleys. Several interesting churches are along the perimeter of theold town facing the sea. The walls and bastions surrounding the oldtown are believed to have been built in the 15th century to fend offattacks, especially from pirates. The pretty port is still used by fishingboats and you'll see fishermen mending their colorful nets and hou-ses decorated with fishing baskets. Castello Angiono stands near theentrance to the old town. The current fortress, built on old Byzantinefortifications, probably originated in the 11th century but was alteredquite a bit in the 15th century. The Corte Gallo is a surprising littlealleyway that looks like an open-air ethnographic museum. . A sandybeach, Spiaggia della Purita, lies on one side of the old town, outsidethe walls.

CALABRIA - From Sibari Green Village and Serenè Village

SYBARIS AND “THE MAGNA GRECIA” Full Day - (From SibariGreen Village only)Sybaris was an ancient city in Magna Graecia on the western shoreof the Gulf of Taranto in the Ionian Sea, in Southern Italy. The wealthof the city during the 6th century BC was so great thatthe Sybarites became synonymous with pleasure and luxury. Themodern town of Sibari lies near the ruins of the Greek city;

POLLINO NATIONAL PARK - (From Sibari Green Village only)It was founded in 1992 and includes both natural and archaeologicalpoints of interest. The park's symbol is the Bosnian Pine, which herehas one of its last remaining growing areas in Italy. Towns with inte-resting sights include Rotonda, Castrovillari, Morano Calabro (conventof Colloreto), Laino, Castello Normannom Scalea, Papasidero, CivitaCerchiara (church of Madonna delle Armi). Albanian-speaking com-munities are present in villages such as San Paolo Albanese, San Co-stantino Albanese andd others. In the Valle del Mercure have been

discovered remains of pre-historic species such as Elephas antiquusand Hippopotamus maior.

ROSSANO AND LIQUORICE FACTORY - Full Day - (From SibariGreen Village only)Rossano looks out over the Ionian Sea….it sits in the hills filled witholive groves. Don’t be confused - there seem to be 3 very differentRossanos: The one at the sea - Lido Sant’Angelo; the inland town- Rossano Scalo; and the original old town - Rossano. Rossano isknown as the "Byzantine Pearl of Calabria"….it was a Byzantine em-pire for centuries and was the birthplace of St. Nilo (a Byzantinemonk). According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the best liquoricein the world is the one found in Calabria. In fact, in the stretch bet-ween the towns of Roseto Capo Spulico and Cariati, the Liquoriceplant grows wild, finding in the clay soils its natural habitat. In Ros-sano in 1710 the first factory for the production of liquorice was builtand today the liquorice of Rossano is exported around the world.

PIZZO CALABRO, TROPEA AND CAPO VATICANO - Full Day (fromSerenè Village only)Let's take a quick detour north to Pizzo, where Napoleon's ill-fatedbrother-in-law Joachim Murat was imprisoned and shot in 1815. Notmuch remains of the infamous castle where he was held, but thetown is picturesque, has a fine sandy beach and, for lovers of theextravagant, there is the chiesetta di Piedigrotta, a sanctuary carvedinto a grotto, with lifesize praying figures. From Pizzo we travel to-ward Briatico and Tropea. On the horizon is S. Maria dell'Isola, a lovelylittle 12th-century church set on an island-like promontory. There arestill many 16th- and 17th-century family homes here, which lookvery romantic when illuminated at night. Between Tropea and Nico-tera, especially in the areas around Parghelia and Capo Vaticano, theroad curves along high above a non-stop succession of beautiful bea-ches and interesting rocky coves, creating a coastline that many havelikened to Big Sur. The water is usually extremely clear.

THE CASTELLA - Hal Day ((from Serenè Village only)The castle was fully restored in 2001 and I visited it as part of theSIAFT (Southern Italy Agrifood and Tourism) invitation by the Chamberof Commerce of Crotone. Our guide added some great human storiesto the chronicled history.quillace in the province of Crotone To beprecised, in Isola di Caporizzuto looking out over the protected marinereserve of the same name. You don't need much imagination to seethe Aragonese soldiers locked in combat with Turkish pirates fivecenturies ago. The main structure dates back to the Angevin period.The giveaway is the cylindrical tower which juts out over the walls.Yet, the ancient Greeks did build some defensive walls in the shallowsmany years before. Pliny, in his Naturalis Historia, mentions variouslittle islands such as Dioscuri, Calipso, Tiris, Meloessa and Eranusa.These collectively may be the origin of the name Le Castella.

ADRIATIC SEA RIVIERA - From Serena Majestic Hotel

THE TRABOCCHI COAST - Full DayThe Trabocchi routes stretch from the coast at Francavilla al Mare toVasto and into the hinterland to places such as Bomba, Mozzagrognaand Filetto. The trabocchi are those characteristic huts built on stiltswhich hover above the crashing waves of the Adriatic. They wereused by local fishermen who, we guess, would practically live in themuntil they achieved a sufficient catch. The 'camosci' are the shy cha-mois deer who inhabit the Abruzzo mountains, while the final itineraryopens the visitor's eyes to regional folklore and pagan superstitionwhich is still present. What we do know is that Tollo was an Etruscansettlement before becoming occupied by the Romans, Longobards,Spanish and French. Some classical votives from the area do existin the Archaeological Museum of Chieti. Perhaps a good time to visitTollo is the first Sunday of August. The town remembers the day in1566 when the inhabitants were finally able to defeat marauding Tur-kish pirates thanks to the appearance of the Madonna del Rosario.The battle is re-enacted every year.

TREMITI ISLANDS - Full Day Approximately twelve sea miles from the Northern coast of the Gar-gano, there are three islands and a number of rock formations whichmake up the archipelago of the Tremiti islands. The Tremiti islands arenow a protected marine reserve, and with their unique environment,in the middle of the blue waters of the Adriatic sea, are the habitat ofa wealth of sea life. They are home to an ancient settlement of fisher-men who today still speak in Partenopean dialect. The Tremiti islandsare made up of the islands of San Nicola, San Domino, and Capraia,this last is uninhabited and covered in Mediterranean vegetation.
