The duomo dominates a lovely piazza, bordered also by the church of Santa Lucia alla Badia (which contains a Caravaggio painting). Wandering the shady alleyways, and walking the seafront promenades were both great fun. There are large car parks on this island off Syracuse, making it convenient to drive to.

Charming, beautiful, stunning buildings and a real old fashioned, worn, charm. Fantastic sea views, lovely people.

Great architecture and a few monuments on the island. Narrow alleys and nice squares on the western side. East of island a bit boring.

Narrow alleys, good restaurants, beautiful piazzas. Our favourite spot was the Gran Cafe del Duomo at Piazza del Duomo. A good place to have an espresso while admiring the old palaces and watching people strolling by.

This is a fantastic to while away a few days. Lovely streets to meander about. Great eateries of all kinds and reasonably priced. Interesting Piazzas to drink a coffee and magnificent Baroque buildings to gaze at. The air is magnificent which rolls fro the sea surrounding this island.

Farmer's Market! One of the best I have ever been to for variety, color, sounds, and sheer entertainment. A must-experience. It is just over the bridge to the left by the public parking. Get there early because they close in the afternoon and don't reopen. I took a hundred pictures, and this was a highlight of the trip.

We had great advice about where to park in Syracuse and walk over the bridge to Orytgia. We visited the markets, investigated museums, wandered into churches and had a great coffee just off the square

When in Sicily you must visit Ortygia, this is one of the most beautiful parts of Sicily. You will eat fresh and delicious seafood. Try the local favorite: Pasta alla Ricci. (pasta with sea urchin)

This is right up there with top Italian destinations. Stunning piazza and duomo. Stroll the streets and enjoy. Great shops and restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyable. The sights at the archaeological park are average so devote your time here.
