Siracusa's beaches 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. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/02/2020 Ortigia's market 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. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 24/10/2019 Siracusa's archeological park Siracusa's archeological park Have at least two hours for this park. I spent four hours because the Ear of Dionysius surprised us with a wonderful acoustics and we wished to play with sounds more. The Roman amphitheatre is located closer to the entrance. I guess, to preserve it better, they don't let you walk inside of it. The Greek amphitheatre, a craved in stone ancient theater is located further away and open for everybody to walk its stairs. Once you walk around it there is a wonderfull view of the city. It has an open semicircular form and it looks great from different points of view. Make sure to walk around at the top and go to the stage. The Orsi Museum is located a couple of blocks from the entrance to the park. Leave about three hours for the museum if you are interested to take a look at everything. The entrance to the archeological museum is also included in the price. If you are a more thorough visitor and want to read about each artifact, you will need more then four hours. This museum has a large collection and, I believe, it is the most significant in Sicily. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 22/05/2020 Avola: Sicily's undiscovered beauty Avola (22,7Km) Avola: Sicily's undiscovered beauty Avola, on the south eastern tip of Sicily in the Syracuse province, remains largely undiscovered by mass tourism and retains a distinctly Sicilian air. Most of the population of the surrounding area still work on the land, and the profusion of almond and citrus trees make their presence felt in many local dishes. There are several wide, sandy beaches nearby, and visitors will be well served by bars, cafes and restaurants surrounding the numerous piazzas dotted through the town, which are also meeting places where locals sit and watch the world go by over a cappuccino or a glass of the local wine. The town is perhaps best known as the birthplace of the Nero d'Avola wine, a hefty full bodied red which is recognised internationally, and this can be sampled along with cheeses, oils and many other local delicacies at the winery shop in the centre of town. For a trip out of the city, nearby Noto is renowned for its well preserved Baroque architecture and has been awarded World Heritage Site status. Also nearby is the Cava Grande del Cassibile, or the Grand Canyon of Sicily. Trekkers can make their way to the bottom of a 250m deep gorge, surrounded by beautiful forest and wildlife, and enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal clear pools and natural basins found there. scritto da Emilio Aronica - ultima modifica il 01/04/2020 Accommodation All (19) Farm house (8) B&B (4) Campings (1) Hotels (8) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (2) Agriturismo Case Damma Siracusa Grand Hotel Villa Politi Siracusa Caol Ishka Hotel Siracusa Hotel Como Siracusa Des Etrangers et Miramare Siracusa Artemare Siracusa Siracusa B & B ORTIGIA SEA VIEW Siracusa BED AND BREAKFAST A SIRACUSA ORTIGIASEAVIEW È AL 4 ° PIANO DI UNA MODERNA BUIDING SUL LUNGOMARE DI ORTIGIA.

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.
Siracusa's archeological park Siracusa's archeological park Have at least two hours for this park. I spent four hours because the Ear of Dionysius surprised us with a wonderful acoustics and we wished to play with sounds more. The Roman amphitheatre is located closer to the entrance. I guess, to preserve it better, they don't let you walk inside of it. The Greek amphitheatre, a craved in stone ancient theater is located further away and open for everybody to walk its stairs. Once you walk around it there is a wonderfull view of the city. It has an open semicircular form and it looks great from different points of view. Make sure to walk around at the top and go to the stage. The Orsi Museum is located a couple of blocks from the entrance to the park. Leave about three hours for the museum if you are interested to take a look at everything. The entrance to the archeological museum is also included in the price. If you are a more thorough visitor and want to read about each artifact, you will need more then four hours. This museum has a large collection and, I believe, it is the most significant in Sicily. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 22/05/2020 Avola: Sicily's undiscovered beauty Avola (22,7Km) Avola: Sicily's undiscovered beauty Avola, on the south eastern tip of Sicily in the Syracuse province, remains largely undiscovered by mass tourism and retains a distinctly Sicilian air. Most of the population of the surrounding area still work on the land, and the profusion of almond and citrus trees make their presence felt in many local dishes. There are several wide, sandy beaches nearby, and visitors will be well served by bars, cafes and restaurants surrounding the numerous piazzas dotted through the town, which are also meeting places where locals sit and watch the world go by over a cappuccino or a glass of the local wine. The town is perhaps best known as the birthplace of the Nero d'Avola wine, a hefty full bodied red which is recognised internationally, and this can be sampled along with cheeses, oils and many other local delicacies at the winery shop in the centre of town. For a trip out of the city, nearby Noto is renowned for its well preserved Baroque architecture and has been awarded World Heritage Site status. Also nearby is the Cava Grande del Cassibile, or the Grand Canyon of Sicily. Trekkers can make their way to the bottom of a 250m deep gorge, surrounded by beautiful forest and wildlife, and enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal clear pools and natural basins found there. scritto da Emilio Aronica - ultima modifica il 01/04/2020 Accommodation All (19) Farm house (8) B&B (4) Campings (1) Hotels (8) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (2) Agriturismo Case Damma Siracusa Grand Hotel Villa Politi Siracusa Caol Ishka Hotel Siracusa Hotel Como Siracusa Des Etrangers et Miramare Siracusa Artemare Siracusa Siracusa B & B ORTIGIA SEA VIEW Siracusa BED AND BREAKFAST A SIRACUSA ORTIGIASEAVIEW È AL 4 ° PIANO DI UNA MODERNA BUIDING SUL LUNGOMARE DI ORTIGIA.

Have at least two hours for this park. I spent four hours because the Ear of Dionysius surprised us with a wonderful acoustics and we wished to play with sounds more. The Roman amphitheatre is located closer to the entrance. I guess, to preserve it better, they don't let you walk inside of it. The Greek amphitheatre, a craved in stone ancient theater is located further away and open for everybody to walk its stairs. Once you walk around it there is a wonderfull view of the city. It has an open semicircular form and it looks great from different points of view. Make sure to walk around at the top and go to the stage. The Orsi Museum is located a couple of blocks from the entrance to the park. Leave about three hours for the museum if you are interested to take a look at everything. The entrance to the archeological museum is also included in the price. If you are a more thorough visitor and want to read about each artifact, you will need more then four hours. This museum has a large collection and, I believe, it is the most significant in Sicily.
Avola: Sicily's undiscovered beauty Avola (22,7Km) Avola: Sicily's undiscovered beauty Avola, on the south eastern tip of Sicily in the Syracuse province, remains largely undiscovered by mass tourism and retains a distinctly Sicilian air. Most of the population of the surrounding area still work on the land, and the profusion of almond and citrus trees make their presence felt in many local dishes. There are several wide, sandy beaches nearby, and visitors will be well served by bars, cafes and restaurants surrounding the numerous piazzas dotted through the town, which are also meeting places where locals sit and watch the world go by over a cappuccino or a glass of the local wine. The town is perhaps best known as the birthplace of the Nero d'Avola wine, a hefty full bodied red which is recognised internationally, and this can be sampled along with cheeses, oils and many other local delicacies at the winery shop in the centre of town. For a trip out of the city, nearby Noto is renowned for its well preserved Baroque architecture and has been awarded World Heritage Site status. Also nearby is the Cava Grande del Cassibile, or the Grand Canyon of Sicily. Trekkers can make their way to the bottom of a 250m deep gorge, surrounded by beautiful forest and wildlife, and enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal clear pools and natural basins found there. scritto da Emilio Aronica - ultima modifica il 01/04/2020 Accommodation All (19) Farm house (8) B&B (4) Campings (1) Hotels (8) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (2) Agriturismo Case Damma Siracusa Grand Hotel Villa Politi Siracusa Caol Ishka Hotel Siracusa Hotel Como Siracusa Des Etrangers et Miramare Siracusa Artemare Siracusa Siracusa B & B ORTIGIA SEA VIEW Siracusa BED AND BREAKFAST A SIRACUSA ORTIGIASEAVIEW È AL 4 ° PIANO DI UNA MODERNA BUIDING SUL LUNGOMARE DI ORTIGIA.

Avola, on the south eastern tip of Sicily in the Syracuse province, remains largely undiscovered by mass tourism and retains a distinctly Sicilian air. Most of the population of the surrounding area still work on the land, and the profusion of almond and citrus trees make their presence felt in many local dishes. There are several wide, sandy beaches nearby, and visitors will be well served by bars, cafes and restaurants surrounding the numerous piazzas dotted through the town, which are also meeting places where locals sit and watch the world go by over a cappuccino or a glass of the local wine. The town is perhaps best known as the birthplace of the Nero d'Avola wine, a hefty full bodied red which is recognised internationally, and this can be sampled along with cheeses, oils and many other local delicacies at the winery shop in the centre of town. For a trip out of the city, nearby Noto is renowned for its well preserved Baroque architecture and has been awarded World Heritage Site status. Also nearby is the Cava Grande del Cassibile, or the Grand Canyon of Sicily. Trekkers can make their way to the bottom of a 250m deep gorge, surrounded by beautiful forest and wildlife, and enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal clear pools and natural basins found there.
