Syracuse is one of the oldest and most fascinating chapters in Mediterranean history. And its beating heart is Ortigia, an island within the city, a handkerchief of land bathed by the Ionian Sea where every stone breathes two thousand years of history, from the Greeks to the Normans and up to the Baroque splendors.
Strolling through Ortigia means getting lost in silent alleys that suddenly open up onto the sea, admiring the majesty of Piazza Duomo, and being enchanted by the legend of the Arethusa Spring, where papyrus plants grow lushly. Living in a renovated historic palazzo or in an apartment overlooking the port in Syracuse means inhabiting history, surrounded by unparalleled cultural and gastronomic vibrancy.
Tomorrow we will move inland to discover villages suspended in time. See you soon!
