If you want to discover a place that is not very touristy, but of an unsettling beauty, choose to take a walk, even at night, along the Rossana Maiorca Cycle Path.

Born on the remains of the old railway line, this straight path will give you thrills to lose your breath. The whole route is straight and comfortable both by bike and on foot. The coast of Syracuse is expressed in all its beauty, rocks carved in time by the sea as the Scoglio dell’Elefante and the Re Ru Frati that will give you an idea of ​​the artistic mastery of nature. The erosion made by the waves creates a stretch of coast of a beauty worthy of the most famous places in the world.

Along the way you will also encounter small gold-colored beaches, inlets that are so complex that they can only be reached by boat.

Along your way you will also come across an exhibition of contemporary art inaugurated by the City of Syracuse in 2015 that enhances the panorama even more.

Continuing along the Cycle Path line you will have an idea of ​​the extent of Syracuse. You will arrive at the Tonnara di Santa Panagia, a structure of enormous historical and cultural value, and then finish your journey to Targia, just outside Siracusa north where you will be waiting for the rich cliffs of archaeological finds.
