The island of Ortigia is the beating heart of the entire city: just one square kilometer and yet a lovely treasure trove of natural beauty and ready to amaze you.
Temples, castles, stately homes and ancient baroque churches determine the charm of the islet dedicated to Artemis. Pleasant is lost in its narrow streets, in search of rare atmospheres elsewhere lost here and that are perceived more lives than ever before.
Ortigia affects just its human dimension, its tranquility and its small but heady market it resides the soul.
Among the stalls of fruit and vegetables, cheese shops, local produce and fish stalls are concentrated in perfect harmony, all the colors, the flavors and aromas of this enchanting land you can enjoy the evening in typical local restaurants or at its finest restaurants.
From the terrace of Arethusa, especially at sunset, overlooking the whole city from the ruins of the Greek fortress dell’Eurialo, Etna, his gaze linger on the elegant fortress Frederick Castle Maniace, extreme southern tip of Ortigia, which seems to caress the blue waves of the sea.
The basement of Ortigia wind telling the secrets of its people and jealously guard other treasures: the “Bath Hebrew” in the medieval heart of the Giudecca, and the Hypogeum of Piazza Duomo, the theater of local chronicles of the Second World War. The gaze is lost also nell’ondoso Plemmirio, now a protected marine area, ideal for excursions by sea and by land, and which is located close to the beaches of Syracuse, Arenella, Fontane Bianche, Ognina and Terrauzza.
A few kilometers from the city another magic place: the “source Cyane,” witness of the love between the beautiful nymph and Anapo.
Here we recommend the ascent of the river by boat, between individual pieces of papyrus to the source. Papyrus in Syracuse is still preserved the memory, not only in its little museum as well as high-quality that faithfully following the recipe of the ancient Egyptians, reproduces the beauty of the city aretusea in watercolors on papyrus paper original.
Syracuse is all this and so much more: a continuous discovery, among people warm and welcoming.
Come and discover it.
