Car Hire Comiso - Mini guide to Comiso

Comiso is a municipality in the island of Sicily, Province of Ragusa. The town is situated in the southern part of Sicily, about 20 km from Ragusa. You may reach Comiso by train as it lies on the Siracusa-Licata line.

The ancient history of Comiso is related with Greece, as this is a former Greek colony, established by Syracuse around 6th century B.C. Two times the town was completely destroyed: in the 2nd century B.C. by the Romans and in the 17th century as a consequence of an earthquake. Many of the old sights, related with the Byzantium Empire, like the monasteries of St. Nicolň and Saint Blaise turned into ruins. After the earthquake Comiso was rebuilt on the same spot, but already in the Sicilian Baroque style.

Being in Comiso you may enjoy simple, but tasty food in the local restaurants as the area is known with wine and vegetables production.
