During our 5 weeks together in Italy, my sister Annie and I were fond of saying “This doesn’t suck”. Well, Siracusa and Ortygia are truly deserving of this charming turn of phrase!
From the enchanting streets of Ortygia (island connected via a bridge to Siracusa), to the best spaghetti vongole I ever tasted at Spaghetteria do Schogghiu, to the Teatro Greco in the Parco Archaeologico della Neapolis, the Museo Archeologico Paolo Orsi and the tiny bohemian-feeling Slow Food recommended Osteria La Gazza Ladra.
Siracusa is small enough to see everything on foot. We hoofed the length and breath of it and here are some photos we captured.
