Necropolis of Pantalica Tour + Lunch
Description
We'll meet at the scheduled time at the Terra Surti Estate. From this farm, situated on the outskirts of the Sicilian town of Sortino, we'll take a stroll to the fascinating necropolis of Pantalica.
As we finish our 1-hour walk, we'll reach this prehistoric site. A truly unique place declared a World Heritage Site, it boasts over 5,000 tombs spanning from the 13th century BC to the 17 BC. As we delve into the history of this enclave, we'll soak up its breathtaking landscapes, featuring a spectacular canyon crisscrossed by a flowing stream.
Wrapping up our exploration of the necropolis, we'll walk back to the hacienda. Here, we'll dive into the intricacies of olive oil production at the olive mill, learning the secrets behind crafting extra virgin olive oil. And, of course, no visit would be complete without a tasting of this iconic product, undoubtedly a cornerstone of Mediterranean gastronomy.
Following the delightful olive oil tasting, get ready for a delicious Sicilian lunch. The menu features an array of delights, including typical bread, olives, cured cheese, salami, bruschetta with traditional pâté, stuffed pizzolo, ricotta, and honey. To accompany your meal, take your pick from refreshing mineral water, white wine, or red wine.
Finally, with full stomachs and appetites satiated, we'll bring this 4 hour complete experience to an end.
