Yes to Noto!

Noto antica just outside of today's Noto shows the remains of the earthquake in the 1600s that destroyed the town.

And Noto post-earthquake is an architectural gem! And guess what? It even has a parking lot on the outskirts where a free bus with an English speaking driver will shuttle you to town center!

I'm always overjoyed when Sicily tries to help you become a more relaxed tourist (that we know we're capable of being)!

We spend most of our time touring Sicily -- just wild on espresso, white knuckled, lips pursed, eyes bulging, screaming at each other about signposts and parking spaces that seem to have fallen into the twilight zone.
