The walk begins before the sea shows all of its faces — a country lane, the scent of thyme, and the distant rise of surf against cliffs. From Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi the Sentiero delle Sirenuse threads terraces, stone basins and late-blooming scrub as it climbs toward Punta Sant'Elia, the pace measured by your breath and the gulls that whet the air.
