I love reading this.

I also like how you got into the things you didn't have time to do or chose not to do.

Often we see travel pieces that list and of things to but but there is no way to actually see them all.

This made me long for Sicily! At the moment, We're having a white winter in Stockholm so this was a nice reminder that only a few hours away, sunshine and warm days are waiting. Great tips!

We are long overdue to write a story about our time in Ortigia, but for now here’s a restaurant recommendation to add to your list. Il Blu, a tiny seafood place close to the Jewish quarter where we had an incredible Frutti di Mare crudo

We just took a look at Ortigia for our upcoming trip in May...but we live in a pretty, small surf town on the Portuguese coast and felt like maybe we wanted more city exploration. Your post is making me second-guess that decision. 😂

Italy and Europe allow for inexpensive access to all regions which in the US we lack and unfortunately don't have a choice in. Happy for you! Thanks for inviting us along. YouTube???
