On our final full day in Sicily, we decided to explore the lagoons of the Vendicari Nature Reserve.   As well as resident and migrating birds, the reserve is where you’ll also find the remains of an old ‘tonnara’ or tuna processing plant.

Our flight home wasn’t until late afternoon the following day so, on the way to the airport, we called in at the Maddelana peninsular – to check out the lighthouses (of course 🙂 ).   From there you also get a great view of the ancient city of Syracuse across Porto Grande bay.
