Thanks to our wonderful hosts Max and Iris, we had a fabulous and memorable experience visiting Syracuse and staying in the beautiful seaside town of Ortigia. Max made a special effort to take care of us when we first arrived and when we were departing. Their place is literally within walking distance to all the tourist attractions, restaurants and cafes. It is a place we definitely want to come back to. When we do, we will surely want to book our stay with Max and Iris.
