Villa del Casale di Piazza Armerina (EN) - 80 km.
The Roman Villa del Casale, dating back to the 4th C. AD, is in the Municipality of Piazza Armerina (Enna), whose many archaeological sites make it an important tourist destination.

Licata, 6 km.
The city lies between the Salso river and the foot of the so called-Licata Mount. Visitors can enjoy numerous cultural attractions, including the Archaeological Museum which houses interesting finds dating back to the Hellenic dominion and the Middle Ages, the noble buildings Palazzo Serrovira and Palazzo Caro-Dominici and the early 20th C. bourgeois villas, noteworthy examples of Sicilian liberty style architecture.

The Valley of the Temples - Agrigento, 42 km.
One of the most important archaeological sites in the world, the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento consists of eight temples built in the 5th C. BC along a ridge on the south side of the ancient city and bear witness to the latter’s ancient wealth. The buildings have been destroyed several times through the centuries, during subsequent invasions, but their remains can still be admired to date. Of all of the temples, the Temple of Concord is the only one that is still relatively intact.

Noto and the Nature Reserve of Vendicari, 140 km.
Inscribed in UNESCO World Heritage List, Noto is composed almost entirely of noble palaces, Baroque decorations, capitals and churches. Other sites to see include Noto Antica, the older, ruined town, and the archaeological complex at Eloro (ruined Helorus), not to mention the Vendicari Nature Reserve with its mild Mediterranean climate.
 
Caltagirone, 70 km.
The age-old origins of this town are reflected in countless finds and artistic documents that allow to mention it as one of the many Greek-Sicilian towns on the island. Caltagirone, however, still preserves traces of the subsequent Roman, Byzantine, and Saracen dominations too. This area is rich in clay and is renowned all over the world for its production of ceramics, a handicraft that has preserved the charm of ancient traditions dating back to the Muslim and Norman times.

Ragusa, 90 km.
A visit to the city of Ragusa – which is built on a wide limestone hill between two deep valleys, Cava San Leonardo and Cava Santa Domenica – holds interesting surprises. The city includes two distinct areas, the lower and older town of Ragusa Ibla, and the higher Ragusa Superiore. It is also one of the leading tourist destinations thanks to its archaeological and ancient sites dating back to the Hellenic Era. The stunning Baroque and 19th C. buildings are also definitively worth a visit.
