Sobre
Fatos rápidos: This small island holds layers of history with Greek temples right next to Baroque buildings. Its vibrant local markets serve up fresh seafood that captures the essence of Sicilian coastal life.
Destaques: Ortigia boasts the Fountain of Arethusa, a freshwater spring surrounded by papyrus plants in the heart of the old town, which seems almost surreal by the sea. The blend of ancient ruins, narrow alleys, and lively piazzas creates an atmosphere that feels like stepping into a living storybook.
