Caltanissetta and Siracusa. From the station, turn right down the main road and, at the

junction, bear right for the town centre and Corso Vittorio Emanuele.

By train Gela is at the far end of the train line that runs from Siracusa via the Baroque
towns of Noto (4 daily; 3hr), Ispica (4 daily; 2hr 50min), Scicli (2 daily; 2hr 15min),
Modica (4 daily; 1hr 40min) and Ragusa (5 daily; 1hr), and consequently is a feasible
day-trip from any of these places, especially if you bring a bike to get to Capo
Soprano. There are no trains on Sundays, and journeys may involve a change.

By car Driving into town, simply follow the signs for museum and fortifications – it’s
slow going on the SS115, which cuts right through the centre.

across Corso Vittorio Emanuele (Mon–Fri 8am–2.15pm, plus Wed 2.45–6.15pm;
