Modica: Sweet Life in Baroque Sicily

Modica is a hillside town that feels like it’s been poured out of a storybook — baroque churches (especially the absolutely gorgeous Duomo de San Giorgio!) stacked above winding lanes, all glowing honey-gold in the Sicilian sun. But let’s be honest: most people (me included 😋) come here for one thing… chocolate.

The town is famous for its Aztec-inspired method of making chocolate, brought by the Spanish centuries ago. It’s grainy, rich, and utterly addictive. I popped into Cioccolato di Modica Sabadì
Sabadì - Cioccolato di Modica and, honestly, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — worth every bite. Try the chilli-infused bar if you’re feeling brave 🌶️🍫.

Between tastings, Modica’s steep stairways and dramatic views make wandering a joy. Climb to the Cathedral of San Giorgio for a view that’ll stop you in your tracks. Then reward yourself with… well, more chocolate. 🍫✨

This is Sicily’s sweet spot — literally.
