Island of Ortigia

Fabulous place to visit! Great sights and shops! Nice restaurants on the water front!

Fell in love with Ortigia. What a magical place. It must be unimaginably hot in summer, but at the end of October it was perfect. Huge eating options, markers are fantastic and just strolling the town is really great.

Beautiful place.
We drove here and found parking quite near the bridges before entering Ortiga.
Quite busy with tourists but experience enjoyable.

Ortigia island is such a beautiful place just outside main land Siracusa. The whole island is well kept and very enjoyable. The people are lovely and kind and they are doing they best if you don’t speak italian. The restaurants and food are exceptional and you will eat good in most of the places. Entry tickets for museum or churches are quite cheap and worth the visit. It is one of the best places in south Italy and needs to be visited once in a lifetime!

Isola di Ortigia in Siracusa is a charming escape, where historical allure meets Mediterranean tranquility. Stroll through the picturesque streets, lined with Baroque architecture, and discover the lively markets showcasing local crafts and delicacies. The iconic Cathedral of Siracusa, a majestic amalgamation of various architectural styles, stands as a must-visit landmark. Take a leisurely walk along the waterfront promenade, enjoying panoramic views of the Ionian Sea. Indulge in the island's culinary delights at seaside trattorias. Isola di Ortigia offers a delightful blend of history, culture, and culinary delights, making it a captivating destination for those seeking an authentic Sicilian experience.

Among the most beautiful places in the world!
Parking spots are scarce. Drive carefully, streets are very narrow.Really reasonable prices at restaurants and street food spots.

A bit touristy but very nice part of eastern Sicily. Lovely views in the town and around the coast, Piazza Duomo is very picturesque and whole area has a delightful ambience.
There should be no difficulty in getting great food here and huge variety in restaurants, cafes etc. Not overly expensive, much better value than Taormina.

Beautiful place. Went in the evening for a stroll and to dine. Many restaurants in the area and walking is easy and relaxed.

One of the most beautiful places in Sicily

I’ve been to over a dozen Sicilian cites and by far Ortigia is the most beautiful!

Beatiful historical part of Siracusa. One of my favourite place in Sicily. I would walk hours and hours through that pictoresque baroque streets. On every step you can find something interesting. Plenty of restaurants, caffes, artisan shops everywhere. Duomo is beautiful. But the most magical part is watching the sunset on promenade. I love Ortigia especially becuase it wasn't so touristy as Taormina and allowing you to relax.

Beautiful island with ancient and authentic atmosphere. Amazing coastline, cousy little restaurants and wine bars. Almost no tourists during winter.

A lot of nice buildings, ornate streets, stunning views.

One of the most beautiful old cities in Italy. Architecture, Art, atmosphere, cafe's, restaurants, artisanal shops, sea, port and boats. I could go on. You have to experience this, you will not regret it, nor forget it. 👌

This island-city is adjacent to Siracusa and is very walkable. There is beach access, boat ride options and many restaurants. We enjoyed a cooking lesson there and a guided tour that included the Greek ruins. There’s a daily morning market for fresh produce, flowers and home goods. I’ve been a couple times and really enjoy the area.

You can't go to Sicily and not go to Ortigia! Gorgeous island, somewhere I would love to go back to.

Historical and beautiful region of Siracusa city. It's mandatory to visit it when arriving in Siracusa.

Came here twice. Very lovely town where you can get lost walking down white alleys surrounded by historic monuments and then walk down to the Waterfront for tasty lunch/dinner. It is the perfect base for a visit to Sicily

This is a must visit when in the area. It is a small size but with so many streets and turns you can wander around and enjoy its stunning architecture and stunning views. It is simply a wonderful place to wander around. You can enjoy coffee, lunch, an evening meal or stay in one of the hotels. But do take the time to look. There is so much to see and enjoy. A wonderful location and one we will return to for another visit.

Nice place to visit, if you have a car make sure to check for available parking space, and make sure to walk along the pedestrian streets, also you could check the pasticceria across the main square
