Thousands of prehistoric rock tombs make it the largest necropolis in Europe, but it is also enriched by medieval villages and churches. The area is a paradise for hikers, with paths that wind through breathtaking landscapes and a biodiversity that includes plants such as the oriental plane tree and varied fauna including the very rare Macrostigma Trout. The routes vary in difficulty, suitable for both families and experienced adventurers, offering experiences of different difficulty and duration. With its unique combination of ancient history, unspoiled nature and hiking adventures, Pantalica is a destination that leaves a lasting impression in the hearts of those who visit it.
