The area of the Vendicari Nature Reserve, well-known for the rich variety of flora and fauna which characterizes its marshes, sand dunes and sea, also includes numerous archaeological sites from the Protohistoric period to the Middle Ages. Its rich soil, the presence of natural harbours along the coastline, and the abundance of sea salt and fish, created the ideal conditions for the birth of towns, farms and fisheries.
A few kilometers away from the World Heritage Site of Noto, lies the Vendicari Nature Reserve, one of the island’s top natural treasures. Created in 1984, it encloses marshes, rocky coastlines and sand dunes, all of which host a rich ecosystem supporting a wide variety of flora and fauna.
