Marcos place was a great place to stay, was in good walking distance to Ortigia and conveniently close to the station to go and get the 10:36 one carriage train (going everyday but sunday!) to all sorts of towns such as Noto and Ragusa... The apartment was cosy and a lovely base to explore... (ps the cakes and ricotta/pistacio arancini at bar medalo (5 minutes from the flat) are dangerously good,, so much so here i am, back in London, writing about them in my review one week later :-))))
