Find your place in history by visiting beautiful Ortigia and Siracusa. Step back in time to this cradle of civilisation. Eat like an Ancient Greek or Roman on fresh fish and local produce. Muse on the adventurers who set sail from this port city to discover new shores or to trade with distant lands. We stayed for one week in February without a car and despite seasonal closures we found plenty to do on foot locally or by taking busses to Catania, Taormina and Noto.
