Tip Nº 01
Explore Ortigia on foot: Wander through the narrow streets of Ortigia, Siracusa's historic island, to discover hidden gems, charming cafes, and ancient ruins. It's best experienced by getting lost.
Tip Nº 02
Visit the Neapolis Archaeological Park: Dedicate a few hours to explore the Greek Theatre, Roman Amphitheatre, and the Ear of Dionysius. Arrive early to avoid crowds and the midday heat.
Tip Nº 03
Take a boat trip around Ortigia: See the island from a different perspective, exploring sea caves and enjoying views of the coastline. Many tours depart from the bridge connecting Ortigia to the mainland.
Tip Nº 04
Enjoy local cuisine: Sample fresh seafood at the Ortigia market or try traditional Sicilian dishes at local trattorias. Don't miss arancini and granita.
Tip Nº 05
Use public transport for longer distances: While Ortigia is walkable, consider local buses for reaching areas like Neapolis or the train station if your hostel isn't directly nearby.
