Lucia and her husband warmly greeted us and showed us around the lovely, well equipped and clean apartment. They gave us tips on where to eat and what to see, they have also prepared a local guide with information. The apartment is just in front of the Apollo temple and really close to the food market which was perfect for fresh fruit, veg, cheese and fish everyday as well as being very characteristic. Ortigia is beautiful and it was lovely to be able to walk through the charming alleys of the island to many of the places of interest as well to the best restaurants and pizzerias.
