Get in
By bus
Buses do not go directly to Eraclea Minoa, but they will stop and pick up from the road junction on the main SS115, about 4km away. From here you will have to walk (or hitch a lift). It can get very hot in summer. On the way back, you are more likely to be able to find someone to give you a lift to the road junction, or even further afield.
From the SS115 road junction there are frequent buses from and to Sciacca and Agrigento.
See
- The ruins themselves are not that impressive - a semi-circular openair theatre and a few building, but the setting more than makes up for it - a hill overlooking a sweeping beach backed by a narrow band of pine trees.
Do
- Venture down to the Beach through the pine trees and relax in or outside one of the two bars.
Sleep
Rooms are available in the village behind the beach, and apartments may be rented near the beach.
