Sicily: The Ride From Noto To Gli Aromi - Sicilian Landscapes Part 3 - Marina Di Modica
Apr 3, 2024 14:49:15 #
We continued toward the coast on the smaller roads after exiting the Autostrada. Here are some more images of this beautiful countryside and coast at Marina Di Modica. All of these images were taken through the tour bus windows with a Nikon D7500 and a Nikkor 18-300 f3.6-5.6 lens set at f9, 1/640 sec and auto ISO. Post processing done with Luminar Neo.

Marina di Modica is located directly on the sea, between Sampieri and Pozzallo, at the southern tip of Sicily. The golden sandy beach of the resort, forms a large bay and is surrounded by numerous dunes. Marina di Modica offers the ideal relaxing holiday and bathing fun for all age groups.
However, in the months of July and August, when Italians go on holiday, the otherwise rather quiet seaside resort comes alive. Then sports activities on the sandy beach, market stalls on the beach promenade, live bands and folklore in the “Piazzetta” as well as numerous bars and discos provide variety.
A beautiful seafront promenade starts from the main square, where traders disperse every Sunday in the off-season and every day in the main months selling jewellery, clothes, bags and toys. Farmers occasionally sell fresh cheese, fruit and vegetables there from mid-June to mid-September. The market takes place once a week.
Restaurants, bars, gelaterias, supermarkets and much more can be found either in the village or directly on the beach. Anyone who loves fresh fish or would like to go shopping can reach all of this in just a few minutes’ drive from Marina di Modica.
Marina di Modica is certainly one of the few spots on the Sicilian island that has not yet been overrun by tourism. Here, as in the whole region of Ragusa, you can get to know real Sicilian life!
Apart from the months of July and August, the seaside resort of Marina di Modica is also ideal for holidays with your dog. Not only the beautiful sandy beach, but also the impressive stretches of coastline in the area are ideal for relaxing walks with your darling.
Pozzallo and Modica
Only 6 km from the small bungalow park is the small fishing town of Pozzallo , wpml_nbspwith numerous shopping and shopping opportunities and a beautiful “Piazza” surrounded by palm trees. If you value fresh fish, you’ll love it here and at his own expense!
The baroque town Modica is only about 15 minutes' drive from Marina di Modica and is what you would imagine a typical Sicilian small town to be.
Here life pulsates from early in the morning until late at night. The old town of Modica is impressive with its numerous baroque churches, such as the “Cathedral of San Giorgio”, both by day and by night!
For additional images from the ride from Noto, please see my previous post:
