Overlooking the Ionian Sea, it is a delight to wander along the perimeter sea walls with the waves crashing below, or meander around the narrow streets lined with crumbling palazzi adorned with decorative balconies, reminiscent of a grander bygone age. Founded in the 7th Century BC, historic sites worth a visit include the impressive Duomo situated on the attractive main square, famous for its fancy Baroque facade and large Doric columns, the ancient Greek ruins of the Temple of Apollo and Fonte Aretusa, a fresh-water spring named after the Greek nymph. The Island also offers a great choice of restaurants, al-fresco cafés and bars, while a bustling market sells the freshest fish, fruit and vegetables, together with local specialities, ideal for self-catering. Don't miss the region's speciality of cannoli – delicious pastries filled with sweetened ricotta. Several stunning sandy beaches can be reached by car or from the bus station in Siracusa, while in summer, bathing platforms are put up in Ortigia giving easy access to the sea for a cooling swim. Slightly further afield, Siracusa's impressive Greek and Roman ruins, including one of the largest Greek theatres in the world, are within easy reach by car or public transport. Linked by three bridges to mainland Sicily, Ortigia is the ideal base for a holiday in this rewarding region.
