Sicilia Di Vendicari In Noto

The Vendettari reserve is one of the first three Sicilian reserves. It was created to protect coastal marshes and dunes. Its position and its particular microclimate have made it a real hotel for over 250 species of birds. But its history goes back centuries. Greeks, Arabs, Byzantines, Swabians and Spaniards passed through here, leaving numerous testimonies including catacombs, ancient towers and churches, tuna fisheries, Latomie and other archaeological remains. All in a place of extraordinary biodiversity. But its uniqueness does not stop here, in fact if you stop by the sea you will fill your lungs with pure oxygen. In the seabed of the reserve there are 25 km of posidonia, an extraordinary plant (because it is a plant and not an algae) that releases 15 L of oxygen for every m² of extension. You will breathe better than on the peaks of Trentino. Among the most beautiful beaches in Sicily, endemic plants, extraordinary nature, hundreds of animal and plant species. And then a dive into crystal clear water with many species of fish. To be visited in every season with respect and an open gaze to wonder.

Magical place, between sea and brackish water, with wonderful flamingos. Perfect for a walk away from the chaos in contact with nature, the tuna fishery offers a very particular landscape and a leap into the ancient world of fishermen. It's worth the few euros to enter.

Beautiful nature reserve with lots of birds, enchanting landscape, lots of flowers and lizards. The visit is worth it. Street parking. No turning option for large vehicles.

Splendid nature reserve for a walk near the pink flamingos. 3 euros 50 entry is very reasonable and for a good cause

This nature reserve extends along the coast between the sea on one side, and ponds on the other side where you can observe many birds including a large number of pink flamingos (in March). Observatories were set up to observe wild birds without being seen. A path without any difficulty allows for a nice walk.

One of the most beautiful places I've seen.

Great place to observe flamingos and other birds and enjoy the nature. Pity it is so difficult to find info on opening hours Opening hours in February (not sure if these are anyhow different in other months) were 9.30 am till 4 pm. Entrance fee (3.5 EUR) to be paid by card only.

Absolutely lovely, I have been there several times, I recommend the main entrance before sunset to see large numbers of flamingos

An uncrowded place to observe nature. Mainly birds, of which there are many here. Lots of flamingos.

Beautiful 😍 I recommend but during not hot season because there is not shadow. January it perfect
