Sicily: Ragusa & Siracusa with Sarah Murdoch | Rick Steves Travel Talks
Southeastern Sicily gets overlooked by many travelers. And that's a shame. In this travel talk, Rick Steves' Europe co-author and tour guide Sarah Murdoch explains why the sleepy, historic hill town of Ragusa is a wonderful home base for touring this undiscovered corner of Sicily, with side-trips to pristine Noto and chocolate-crazy Modica. Then we'll visit Siracusa, from the ruins of ancient Syracuse to the appealing old-town island of Ortigia. Sarah also offers an explanation of Sicily's unique cuisine and aficionado-pleasing wines.

SICILIAN PEOPLE & RAGUSANO CHEESE -- Ragusa, Sicily, Italy // 154
Today, I hiked up through Upper Ragusa for some famous Ragusano cheese from the best of the best, Di Pasquale's. Di Pasuqale's is a cheese making shop in Ragusa, known for selling the best Ragusano cheese in Sicily! This place, with cheese EVERYWHERE, was like a dream. The Ragusano cheese tasted like one too.
Once leaving Di Pasquale's, I headed to the TrenItalia train station to leave Ragusa and head to Agrigento! The trip was long, punctuated with a stop in Licata, where I had to recruit some nice elderly men for help in finding the bus station. One free espresso and a dingy bus ride later, I ended up in Agrigento! More on that in the next episode. ;)

Sicilian Food: Ragusano PDO cheese | Italia Slow Tour
Come to Ragusa, in Sicily, to taste Ragusano PDO cheese. What is it like? Where does it come from? How is it made? It is a unique local cheese, produced in a very accurate way: it is even scanned on x-ray to avoid air bubbles inside! Ragusano cheese smells of honey, fresh mushroom, grass, alcohol with a fruity aroma, apple... And then?

Places to see in ( Ragusa - Italy )
Places to see in ( Ragusa - Italy )
Ragusa is one of the most picturesque towns in Sicily. The view from the upper town over Ragusa Ibla on its own separate hilltop is quite breathtaking. One of the UNESCO-listed Baroque towns of south-eastern Sicily, Ragusa is also one of the principal filming locations for the Sicilian detective drama Il Commissario Montalbano (Inspector Montalbano), a series which has done wonders for publicising the beauty of this area. With a new airport at Comiso, ten miles away, due to open, this is a tourist destination which is definitely up and coming.
Ragusa is in the Monti Iblei, a large area of high ground, divided up by dry stone walls and incised with ravines. The town was originally built on a small steep-sided hill with deep valleys on three sides separating it from the high plateau. After the earthquake of 1693, which destroyed many of south-eastern Sicily's buildings, it was decided to rebuild Ragusa on higher, more level ground nearby. This new planned town was built, with straight streets and a rational layout, but local aristocrats didn't want to move, and instead built themselves new palazzi on the ruins of the old town. So nowadays Ragusa has two parts: Ibla (or Ragusa Ibla), the older nucleus on its hilltop, and Ragusa Superiore, the more modern upper town which spreads from the post-earthquake streets into more recent developments. Like all Sicilian towns, Ragusa has its share of ugly modern sprawl, but this is well away from the historic centre, which is remarkably unspoilt.
Ragusa Ibla is the magnet for tourists, though the upper town is still worth a visit. The bus and railway stations, the town's archaeological museum and its everyday shops and businesses are in Ragusa Superiore as well as most of the hotels. Ibla is the more charming base for a holiday, though, with picturesque lanes, cafes, restaurants and gastronomic shops aimed at tourists. Its main artery is the perfect venue for the evening passeggiata.
The best activity in Ragusa is wandering; meandering along the character-filled lanes of Ragusa Ibla or clambering up the steps towards the upper town and enjoying the great, classic view over Ibla. This is an inviting town for even more leisurely pursuits - a long drink at a cafe table on the pretty sloping piazza in front of the Duomo, a wine-flavoured gelato, a splendid meal at one of the town's small restaurants or a stroll in the park.
Like neighbouring towns, Ragusa was rebuilt after the great earthquake in the Baroque style, and its palazzi and churches are elegant and covered with a profusion of florid detail. The grandest building in Ibla is the cathedral, the Duomo di San Giorgio, begun in 1738 and designed by the architect Rosario Gagliardi. Up a flight of steps and segregated from the streets by ornate railings, this is the heart of the old town and contains some of its best, and most prized artworks. These include a statue of St. George which is carried around town in devout processions. Alongside the church is the small Museo del Duomo (open at weekends), a museum containing stone statues and reliefs from the original pre-earthquake San Giorgio and other churches, architectural drawings by Gagliardo, some extravagant reliquaries and gloomy religious paintings. One of the highlights is a nice little stone carving, from the 15th century, portraying a honey-maker (mielaio) with honeycomb and jug.
Ibla's lanes contain many charms, from elaborately-sculpted balconies to views over the narrow valleys below town. If you have time, it's a good place to explore, with some intriguing corners. A little tourist train (trenino) departs from Piazza Duomo and is an entertaining way of touring the principal streets.
As well as exploring Ibla, most visitors will want to take a look at Ragusa Superiore. The two towns meet at a saddle of land marked by the small Piazza della Repubblica. One of the town's tourist offices is alongside, and also the attractive Chiesa delle Anime del Purgatorio. The upper town can be reached by an energetic climb or by the little local bus from the Giardino Ibleo or Piazza della Repubblica.
( Ragusa - Italy ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Ragusa . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Ragusa - Italy

A csatornát azért hoztam létre ,hogy mindenkit közelebb hozzak az utazás világához. Más utazó bloggerek segítségével együtt szeretném mindenkinek megmutatni, hogy ha valaki utazni szeretne, akkor nincs kifogás, bárki elindulhat a maga útján. Ezért készítettük el Mátai András (Utazgatok.hu) barátommal azt a hat részes portré sorozatot, ami ezt a kérdéskört feszegeti.
#1 Tóth Gábor: A pénz nem kifogás!
#2 Wynne-Hughes Veronika: Merj nagyot álmodni!
#3 – Balogh Bogi: Az lehetsz, aki csak akarsz!
#4 – Talpalatnyi Történetek: Tökéletes pillanat nincs!
#5 – A Sárga Ruhás Lány: Élj a mának!
#6 – Backpacker Bori: Élj szabadon!
Jelenleg egy éve élek Indonéziában, Bali szigetén egy egyetemi ösztöndíj (Darmasiswa) jóvoltából. Itt létem alatt, próbálok minél több információt megosztani olyan témákról mint pl, hogy: Hogy költözzek el? / Mennyi pénz kell Ázsiában utazni? / Helyi kultúra és vallás / Ételkostolás / furcsa szokások / Természeti csodák/ Tengerpartok és szórakozás / Mit érdemes megnézni? / Repjegy vásárlás / Roomtour Indonéziában, és az élet Balin stb.
A 2018 telén egy rövidebb kört tettem Dél-Kelet Ázsiában amelynek a főbb helyszínei a következők voltak: Bali – Yogyakarta – Siem Reap – Angkor wat – Phnom Penh – Kuala Lumpur. Erről a körutazásról utazós vlog sorozatot és készítettem és beszámolót csináltam amiben kitérek sok hasznos tanácsra a meglátogatott országokkal és városokkal kapcsolatban.
Ezenkívül még kijutottam Lombokra, Szumbawára, Floresre és Komodóra a komodói sárkányokhoz Bodzán Benedek barátommal. Szingapúrba és Vietnám fővárosába Hanoiba is eljuthattam, ahol rengeteg fényképet és videót készítettem, ezek még feldolgozás alatt vannak, de hamarosan ezek is elkészülnek. Sőt lehet, hogy képszerkesztéssel és videó vágással kapcsolatos tutoriálok is napvilágot látnak hamarosan.
Jelenleg a legnagyobb project amin A sárgaruhás lánnyal és az Utazgatok.hu-val együtt dolgozom, egy négy részes dokumentumfilm sorozat Indonézia négy népcsoportjáról.
Toraják, Bajók, Mentawaiok, Balinézek
Mindegyik helyszín más kalandokat rejt magában amit hamarosan ti is láthattok majd. Szóval, ha kiváncsi vagy a további tartalmakra, akkor iratkozz fel a csatornára és kövesd az utazós videókat!
Köszönöm , ha velem tartasz!
Szép napot és jó utat kívánok! :)
