Choosing a return time
Check return services before you set out, rather than assuming trains or buses run at the same intervals in both directions. The Trenitalia timetable includes Noto departures toward Siracusa at several times across the afternoon and evening, but the service pattern depends on the travel date.
For the bus, confirm the direction and operating day with Interbus, especially if you plan to board in Noto at Villa Comunale, Via Confalonieri or Via Pola.
