Why go
Give the Roman mosaics and Morgantina most of the day, then use Enna, Ragusa Ibla, or Modica as a later choice rather than forcing every transfer. Distances across the interior are substantial. Protect the two archaeological anchors, check road conditions, and select only one later hill town if the first visits exceed their planned time. Villa Romana del Casale and Morgantina Archaeological Park anchor the day, with one hill-town finish chosen by available time. Plan the transfers carefully.
