Where to stay

Getting around

Arriving

Modica. On the same slow south eastern line as Ragusa; AST buses from Ragusa, Syracuse and Catania are the practical arrivals.

Tickets · AST

Modica Bassa's corso is the walkable spine; Modica Alta rises 250 steps above it

Operator app, bars near the stops.

Validate when boarding.

On foot

·San Giorgio's staircase and the chocolate shops of the corso anchor the lower town
·The climb to Modica Alta rewards with the classic canyon town panorama; take the bus up and walk down if steps worry you

Taxis and driving

·Park along the corso ends; the gorge geography makes circling futile
