We really enjoyed our stay at Margherita's beautiful apartment. The very large terrace has a wonderful view of Ortigia (old Syracuse) and the harbour. The location is great for Ortigia sightseeing, restaurants, and its excellent market is just 10 minutes walk away. In the immediate neighbourhood there are more restaurants and shops. Swimming is a very short walk away, either from a shallow beach in the harbour or from a swimming platform with steps straight into deeper water just the other side of the harbour wall.
