Lidia & her son made us fell very welcome and provided maps & suggestion of what not to miss in museums and beaches. You could easily spend 3 or 4 nights in Ortygia, the old part of Syracuse and find lots to do. Great to just walk along the promenade by the seafront, just 5 minutes from the apt. and lots of great restaurants with views of the sea and great food. It was a very quite and safe neighbourhood to be in. Wish we had stayed longer. Dave & Carrol
