24 hours in Ortigia, Syracuse: Exploring this Island in Sicily in just one day 🇮🇹

Ortigia (Ortygia) is a small island at the historical heart of Syracuse (Siracusa), Sicily.
With wonderful stretching views out to the Ionian Sea, and an incredibly rich history, it’s filled with breathtaking examples of Greek, Roman and Baroque architecture and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Join me as I explore Ortigia, during a daytrip from Catania. Discover the charming, narrow streets, main square and some of Sicily’s most loved street food.
In this travel guide, I share my first impressions of this beautiful city. If you’re planning a trip to Sicily, be sure to add Syracuse to your travel list.

I loved visiting Ortigia and will definitely take more time to explore Syracuse the next time I visit Sicily. My next stop is Taormina.

Yes, this was a spontaneous daytrip, but we’ll definitely go back and explore more of the mainland of Syracuse too.
