Secrets of Ortigia and great food

Published on Aug, 2024

We took a tour of historic places in Ortigia with Corrado, a guide we highly recommend. Lots of information about the places and history of the Syracusa region, all told with generosity, in detail and in a friendly atmosphere. We ended the tour with a meal of Sicilian dishes on a friendly terrace. Corrado is proud of Sicily and Syracusa and it showed during the visit.
