Itinerary
- Day 1
Ragusa Ibla
You'll start in Ragusa Ibla, the historic center that's been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002. This baroque town is worth taking time to walk through, with elegant churches and palaces throughout. Plan to wander the streets, get a feel for the architecture, and have lunch at one of the local spots. It's a good day to settle in and explore on foot without the bike.

Ragusa Ibla to Marina di Ragusa
After getting your bike sorted and briefed, you'll head toward the coast. The route takes you past Donnafugata castle, which has that neo-Gothic style worth seeing, then down to the beaches at Punta Secca and Marina di Ragusa. You're looking at 42 km total with 370 m of climbing. Bring water and plan a long lunch break somewhere along the way.

Later you'll leave the water behind and cycle inland to Scicli, which has baroque buildings like Palazzo Beneventano and the church of San Bartolomeo. Then it's on to Modica, another baroque town famous for its chocolate, so try some if you're hungry. The day covers 37 km with 625 m of climbing, which is substantial, so pace yourself.

The area has real history if you want to stop and look around. Push on to Ispica to see the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and the Loggiato del Sinatra.

The route goes by the marshes at Pantano Longarini and Pantano Baronello, where if you're lucky you'll spot migratory birds. You'll pass Capo Passero island and finish at Marzamemi, an old fishing village that's worth exploring. This covers 54 km with only 245 m of climbing, so it's a bit easier than previous days.

Then you'll leave the coast and climb inland toward Noto, passing through the hills. Noto itself is called the capital of the Baroque, and you'll understand why once you see it. Plan time to walk around and appreciate the architecture. You're looking at 50 km with 730 m of climbing, the steepest day yet, so start early.
