We met Simona at the gateway and she showed us the apartment and explained the local places of interest.The apartment is high above the small harbour and has a fabulous outlook.It was very clean, functional
and comfortable.The island of Ortigia is easliy reached on foot and exploring it and eating there was a delight.The bus station and station are both within 10 minutes making travel very easy.Generally the local people are very friendly and helpful.In fact it was a delightful place for a few days holiday.
