Area Ortigia

Ortigia is the most beautiful part of Syracuse: a real island, linked to the city by two small bridges and entirely pedestrian. Every corner here tells a story. There’s the Cathedral built on a Greek temple, Piazza Duomo that turns into an open-air living room at night, the Arethusa Spring where papyrus still grows, and Castello Maniace looking out over the sea.Walk through pale stone alleys and you’ll find courtyards with flower pots, artisan shops, bars for breakfast with granita and brioche, seafood restaurants and traditional trattorias. Fancy a swim? Calarossa beach and the seaside solariums are five minutes from your door.Ortigia is alive all year. Markets, exhibitions, live music, and those sunset strolls along the seafront that never get old. It’s perfect if you want an authentic, safe place with everything at hand and the sea always close. Sleeping here means waking up in the heart of Syracuse.
