All about the trip

Visit the widest prehistoric necropolis of Europe, World Heritage of UNESCO, discover the ancient Byzantine oratory, walk trough the ruins of the Anaktoron and explore the naturalistic beauties of the Pantalica Nature Reserve and the clear water of the Calcinara torrent.

You will meet the guide in Ferla and with your vehicle, following the guide, you will arrive at one of the entrances of the Nature Reserve Oriented Pantalica - called Sella di Filiporto - where you will park your car.

Following an ancient mule track you will reach the Byzantine village and the Oratory of San Micidiario, completely dug into the white rock. You will drive, always following the guide, to the Prince’s Palace, the Anaktoron, a megalithic structure of the thirteenth century B.C. of which only a few ruins are visible.

Always by car, you will reach another entrance of the Nature Reserve of Pantalica. You will visit, going downstream, another Byzantine village with its oratory, the Church of the Crucifix where you can admire a Byzantine painting illustrating the Christ on the cross.

Thanks to the presence of the naturalist guide, you will discover some of the 700 species and subspecies of plants that inhabit these fascinating places. You will continue along the rock path until you reach the clear waters of the Calcinara River where you can take a regenerating swim. Afterwards, the guide will make your way to the exit of the village.
