Description:

Dive into the fictional world of the hit TV series Il commissario Montalbano with this full-day tour to the historic province of Ragusa. See film sites from Punta Secca to Scicli as you scope out Baroque buildings, Mediterranean beaches, and churches used as sets for the show.

Hop aboard a comfortable coach and set out for a day spent following in the footsteps of Detective Montalbano, who fights Sicily’s organized crime in a TV show that’s become a global sensation. Your first stop is Ragusa Ibla, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that serves as the hilltop village of Vigata.

Admire the Baroque architecture of landmarks like San Giuseppe church and Circolo di conversazione, and head out of town to roam among the Arabic arches and Venetian turrets of the Donnafugata Castle—used as the villa of Mafia boss Balduccio Sinagra in the series.

Make your way to the coastal fishing village of Punta Secca—the fictional town of Marinella—where Inspector Montalbano has his home. See his house from the outside, walk beneath the lighthouse and 16th-century watchtower, and go for a dip if you’d like at the beach where Montalbano swims.

After lunch, visit the pretty beaches of Donnalucata on your way to Scicli, whose Baroque historic center was used as Montelusa in the TV series. Here you can see the Palazzo Comunale—used as the police station in Vigata—and the Palazzo Iacono, the police headquarters. You can opt to go inside to visit Montalbano’s office before your return to Taormina.
