Although most of it is ruins and has apparently been excavated by archaeologist, there are marked routes around the site with information on boards about each area in Italian and English.

A very interesting site. Bit of a walk and climb to get there from Santa Flavia!! Try to get a lift or transport to the site as some of walking there is a bit strenuous too. 6euros admission. Only some if info in English. The big info boards at beginning of tour have been renewed and are in English .

Worth the climb!! The descent into the port much easier.…
