Named for the ancient Siculi King Hyblon, the Hyblaean Mountains (i Monti Iblei), in southeastern Sicily, are characterized by limestone rock formations, sloping mountains, and some of the most picturesque towns on the island.

The Baroque villages of Ragusa, Modica, Noto, and Scicli are built into the hillsides, begging visitors to wander up winding roads to take in one exceptional view after another. But the most heavenly tour through this corner of Sicily is a gastronomic one.
