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???
I loved this post, Gillian! I just finished Delia Ephron’s Siracusa and your post filled in all the extra details and images. 💚
I just added that to my summer reading list!
It’s a fun summer read, a thriller with interesting mostly unlikeable chsracters!
Thank you Gillian. Excellent writing that enabled me to really understand what you were experiencing. You make a visit to Sicilia sound irresistible.
One of my fave places ever.....🌟
I can’t wait to go back!
I second that one! So much to explore in one little town...

Looks really nice. I know I'll get to Sicily someday, can't wait! Thanks for the read.
Thank you for reading!
Cool! Let us know what you think, Gillian

Amazing, thank you! We will try it in a few weeks.

It’s very charming! and you are close to all kinds of archeological sites & art. And. Most importantly, Sicilian food.
Oh that was just dreamy. ❤️

Thank you, Gillian, for a much-needed mini-vacation with this post! xo

Affordable travel is absolutely one of the very best things about living in Italy. I am so grateful for fast trains & the occasional low cost flight.
Fabulous!!
Thanks!
Excellent!
Absolutely.
It's your own vacation.
Dream of a trip
Indeed!
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.
It’s all about options! I always have the best intentions but sometimes it just better to swim & eat at arancini in your pajamas 😂
