Italy Sicily Modica

Modica is a city and comune in the Province of Ragusa, Sicily, southern Italy. The city is situated in the Hyblaean Mountains. Modica has neolithic origins and it represents the historical capital of the area which today almost corresponds to the Province of Ragusa. Until the 19th century it was the capital of a County that exercised a so wide political, economical and cultural influence as it has been counted among the most powerful feuds of the Mezzogiorno. Today Modica is well known for its rich repertoire of culinary specialities, especially the typical chocolate inspired by an aztec recipe, and for its historical centre.

A city dotted with UNESCO World Heritage Sights, this Sicilian city is a pleasure to explore for the gems hidden around every corner.

It was my first time traveling to Europe and I didn't even know where to begin. I don't think I could have planned my trip without RoutePerfect. I used RoutePerfect to book all my accommodations and I am glad I did. It was so easy and I was able to customize my trip to fit my budget. My hotel in Karlovy Vary was the nicest I've ever stayed at.

We had a great holiday and congratulate you on the way in which you organised this holiday for us. The vast majority of hotels were absolutely excellent. We would certainly use your service again and will be happy to recommend you without reservations. We are hoping to book another holiday with you later in the year.
