This is a beautiful apartment right in Ortigia. The beach is about 60 steps from the apartment. There are many wonderful spots to eat, one very local right at the back of the apartment fronting the sea and the other by the marketplace. The taxi will drop you off on the Main Street from the bus or train station, and it is only about a 3 minute walk to the apartment. Without luggage, you can walk about 30 minutes from the station or there is a bus #1 for 1 euro. Highly recommend this place!! I believe there are 4 churches in the streets alone. The town like I said is just about a 3-minute walk away.
