We arrived earlier than planned but Marina came to sort us out. The flat is modern, well equipped, very clean, and within about 100 m of the beach. Marina provided welcoming food for us, even though we were out of season.

In the area around there, Noto was magnificent; Syracuse (specifically Ortygia) is not to be missed; Ragusa Ibla is unbelievable; and Ispica has the most amazing gorge settlement as well as being a pretty town itself.

We found Commissario Montalbano’s flat in Punta Secca! Much rejoicing.

The Nature Reserve to the south of the flat would be interesting to bird watchers.
