Siracusa's beaches

Siracusa has apparently got some small beaches of its own. We found one near the 'piccolo porto' which is pretty small but really well kept, mostly privately managed.

Then we took the road out south to Arenella which has a very nice sweeping beach with a small car park just behind. There were no facilities as it was the end of December but we've been lucky with the weather as we had bright sunshine and temperatures into the 20's celsius. As a consequence there were quite a few people out enjoying the winter sun. At the southern end of the beach it's possible to go for a walk through the coastal meadow; it's rocky foreshore gave the area a slightly more rugged feel, better than areas where the coastline is backed up by housing development which is the case at the other end of the beach.

Further south is the resort of Fontane Bianche. The beach seemed lovely even though in winter and considering the number of hotels backing it , it must be a really popular place in high season! We enjoyed pur warm winter walks, the view was lovely and the beach was really beautiful.

Ortigia's market

We were not disappointed by our regular visits to the market in Ortigia. You will not find any meat for sale but the fish is wonderful; very varied and undoubtedly fresh. Other stalls were selling fresh vegetables and fruit in season. There was one busy trailer selling a wide variety of cheeses and sausages. A few other stalls selling hats, scarves, leather goods, second hand books and somewhat tacky cheap imported goods were nowhere near as popular as the food stalls.

For local colour the market stalls are hard to beat. Fish and fruit/vegetable stalls provide good photographic material in a mouthwatering sort of way. And for the real thing, one trader was selling grilled peppers, baked onions and roasted artichokes all warm and straight out of the hot charcoal - the peppers were delicious.

Because it was leading up to New Year many people were buying their steaks of swordfish - perhaps a special treat to welcome in the New Year? If you're in self catering accommodation you'll surely want to try out some of the market produce - you're unlikely to be disappointed.

Inserted among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the beautiful city of Noto located at the foot of the Hyblaean Mountains, is characterized by numerous Baroque palaces that follow one another through the streets of the center.

Like other towns in southern Italy, it is also located on a beautiful hill that allows even the less experienced visitor to admire from afar the wonderful dome of its cathedral as well as the profiles of the beautiful houses that make up the city.

I pass under the front door of the city, the Royal Gate, which is also the symbol of the city, and I am going to walk for Corso Vittorio Emanuele, main course of the town.

Immediately to my right and to my left there are wonderful examples of 18th-century baroque-style palaces with their elegant exteriors.

But to be the queen of this enchanting scenery is the Cathedral of San Francesco, enchanting and majestic overlooks the city with its size and its size. austerity. Recently renovated it shows visitors its most beautiful appearance, brilliant thanks to its Modica marble.

I leave the cathedral to visit the beautiful Palazzo Nicolaci in Villadorata where I admire enchanted what is called the most beautiful balcony in the world with & amp; nbsp; its marble inserts depicting lions, griffins and mermaids have always fascinated everyone who is lucky enough to be able to lay their eyes on them.
