Parked on a narrow street and walked up numerous sets of steps and streets to eventually end up at Piazza Duomo. The labyrinth of old town streets, intricate alleys and curving lanes means you can get lost, but it seems all roads lead to the Piazza Duomo and that fabulous church. Great views. Here I saw 19thC Palazzo Arezzo di Trifiletti, Teatro Donnafugata and Chiesa di San Giuseppe – all unfortunately closed during siesta time. There are little trattorias, tiny cafes and bars to sit and enjoy the view and refresh yourself with great food and drinks. On the way out to Modica, I came the wrong way up not one, but two dead end streets and had to reverse out, up hills with barely enough room on either side. I could not open my door fully. I blame the GPS

Beautiful old city with stunning views. We stayed just outside Ibla on the central Ragusa side in an Airbnb on the hillside overlooking Ibla. Can’t beat that location if you have a view of Ibla.. Ibla is a collection of very old building and churches that is not overly commercialized though with sufficient restaurants and cafes. We just spent much of the time walking around the streets and getting in our steps. Two days is about sufficient for a visit as you can walk everything in one day and there are only so many churches one can explore over a weekend. As we were here over Easter weekend we were able to catch one of the Good Friday church processions which were very interesting to watch and walk along with for a bit.

This is more of a hike than a walk from the Old Town of Ragusa. Moderately strenuous, its steps all the way up. I didn’t find the destination to be that interesting. There’s one dead action pedestrian street, and the Cathedral. The best part is the view looking back at lower historical town.
