The island of Ortigia is a wonderful place to passaggiare (take a walk) and much of its charm lies in the narrow medieval lanes, and the medieval palaces and churches. A walk around the perimeter of the island is simply a breath-taking experience.

Siracusa's Piazza Duomo is one of the cities most spectacular sights.  It was once the Greek Temple of Athena, built around 480 BC, and the massive Doric columns of the temple are still used to support the ancient cathedral.

Occupying a central position on the island of Ortigia, the Fonte Aretusa is a freshwater fontana (spring) which dates back to the earliest Greek colonists.
The Temple of Apollo, an ancient Greek temple, is also located on the island, which was built around 600 BC.

The are many options for day trips around Siracusa.  An excellent idea would be a day trip to the beautiful, medieval, Baroque town of Noto, which is less than an hour away by bus. Two bus  companies are readily avalaible, AST and Interbus, minutes walk from the condo in Siracusa.
