Arà is located in a strategic place for those who wish to truly live the territory of the former County of Modica!

It will take just a few minutes to reach both these charming places by car, so you’ll be able to choose a new adventure everyday. Arà is even pretty close (10 minutes by car) to the town’s modern commercial area, with its many shops and – for those who want to extend their sightseeing beyond Modica– it’ll take just 30 minutes by car to reach the charming baroque towns of Scicli, Ragusa Ibla, Ispica, and the lively seaside villages of Sampieri and Pozzallo.
