Beaches and nature
Sampieri
A seaside frazione of Scicli with fewer than a thousand residents on the Ragusa coast. It is the nearest beach village to Scicli and Modica and much smaller than Marina di Ragusa. For anyone staying in the Val di Noto towns it is a straightforward afternoon swim, most easily reached by car; Scicli has a railway station linked to Siracusa, but check the onward connection to the beach.
- Train Siracusa → Scicli 1h29–1h41, €8.80 (Trenitalia, checked for 11 November 2026); a car is simplest for the last stretch.
June–September
