Under the blue sky of Cava Carosello, the path winds through centuries-old trees creating a portal to wild beauty. Intertwined fronds filter the light, while the scent of moss reveals the presence of an ancient forest. The lakes, tranquil bodies of water, welcome you with the promise of freshness. Here, among the ruins of the Byzantine tanneries, the crystal clear waters tell the secrets of ancient craftsmen. A break, a dive into the past and into clear waters. The path winds between tannery walls adorned with ancient graffiti, traces of an era of production and forgotten trades. Along the banks, ancient mills emerge as silent guardians. The stone wheels, still now, tell stories of the streams that once turned them. The return to dusk is accompanied by the call of nocturnal birds, and the Cava Carosello, with its lakes, Byzantine tanneries and mills, dissolves in the twilight of the evening.

In this hiking route, the call of the past merges with the majesty of nature, offering a unique experience through the eras that shaped Noto Antica. Among the paths, a journey through the eras is revealed. A path begins among Greek ruins that winds along Byzantine rock dwellings, revealing the vestiges of an era of splendor. Under the shade of centuries-old olive trees, the Roman walls emerge as silent sentinels of a glorious past. The remains of the ancient theater open like an amphitheater, reliving epic shows that animated the evenings of ancient Noto. The castle, a crossroads of civilizations, bears witness to medieval military ingenuity. The trail reveals fragments of frescoes, reminders of an era of opulence under Arab rule. The earthquake of 1669, a painful chapter, left scars on these places. The ruins stand as testaments to the strength of nature and human resilience.
