It was due to be a very hot day so we decided to get up early and go out. As it happened we slept in and so when I and 2 teenage boys got tot the gorge it was about 1ish and 42 degrees. Not the best timing but the walk down so fine if very hot. The entrance gate is locked and so someone has put out some milk crate steps to help you climb over the fence. Uneven steps and a bit slippy in places. At the bottom (20 mins later quick walk) is a river and various pools to leapt in to. The water is cool but not icy and the area is absolutely beautiful. We messed about until about 4 when we thought the walk up would be OK. I consider myself to relatively fit and go to the gym at least once or twice a week. The walk up is hard. Probably a bit of overheating and possible dehydration although we had several litres of water between us but it was not easy at all. We needed several stops to get the heart rate down to sensible levels. Don't be put off as this is a great place. Don't be an idiot and go at 1 on the hottest day for a fortnight like I did Early morning probably best and I would recommend it.

This enchanting coastal nature reserve has well-marked walking paths to unspoiled beaches of golden sand, and a chain of salt lakes that between October and March attract over 200 species of migratory birds including herons, flamingo, cranes, black storks and pelicans. For a one-hour walk leave the main car park, turn left and pick up a free large scale map from the info booth soon your p0ath will reveal the Pantano Grande, along duckboards through a forest of bamboo down to a fine beach with pale golden sand dominated by the ruins of an abandoned tonnara, a tuna processing plant, dating back to 1920s where canned tuna was invented. Eventually you arrive to the stunning cliff-hugged bay of Cala Mosche, one of the most beautiful bays in Sicily

We read about Fiume Ciane, but could hardly find any information how to get there and what to do. It is possible to do this without a car. We rented bicycles in Siracusa and went down the heavily trafficked road towards the river. Just before the Daphne Restaurant there is a yacht boat club. We inquired to rent canoes which was possible for 10 Euro/h. There are 3 waterways to go. The wide one on the right is uninteresting. The canal on the left side gets rather long and jungley, right into nature, not bad. The one in the middle is the actual Fiume Ciana, but we could not go that far, since some trunks and wood blocked the passage. So we returned. Got onto the main road by bicycle over the bridge and tried to find the bridge over the Fiume Ciane. We found the walkway, parked our bicycles and walked the whole path to the spring of the Fiume Ciane. Papyrus plants everywhere, nobody in sight. What a peaceful landscape, I felt like a pharao. One of the highlights in Syracuse.
