Planned Route Notes
Syracuse represents the southern threshold of the expedition. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe, positioned at the edge of the island where land, history, and sea converge. A planned stop here creates a deliberate pause before the final westbound phase toward Palermo. Syracuse offers distance from the mainland, distance from the starting point, and the psychological confirmation of full geographic displacement. The day is reserved to remain stationary, consolidate the journey so far, and prepare for the final traversal across Sicily.
