Part 4/12:
Moving to Ortigia, the historic center of Syracuse, visitors find themselves navigating a labyrinth of medieval streets that open up to sunlit squares adorned with Baroque architecture. This island is not merely a place to witness; it is an immersive experience where the echoes of ancient myths intermingle with the culinary delights available at every turn.
Notable landmarks such as the Cathedral built on the foundations of a Greek temple devoted to Athena and the legendary Fountain of Arethusa provide windows into the myths of yore. Ortigia’s culinary scene is equally enticing, boasting freshly caught fish served in seaside trattorias and the iconic arancino, a must-try culinary masterpiece that captures the island's essence.
