Sicily Travel: Return to Balestrate Avoiding the Autostrada

To return home to Balestrate without the hair-raising adventure of the A20 detour we elected to hit the southern coast of Sicily. We ended up circling the island clockwise this weekend. Way more driving than I like, especially without the sat nav. The upside was we did see the valley of the temples at Agrigento (from the highway) and some of the lovely beaches. We like the central part of Sicily for the forests - I've missed seeing familiar trees like poplar.
