THE place to visit! You can't miss this colourful show, featuring daily next to the Apollo Temple, close to the entrance to the island. Local produce - fruit and vegetable, fish, eggs and bread - anything you can imagine and more, a sure success for the mouth and the eyes (and the ears too!).

Nice café serving mainly organic products (including some quick salads and panini) renting out bikes, including e-bikes, and providing assistance to bikers (the place where I go when my tyre is flat!). Located on a little square just behind the flat!

Food Scene

A recently opened restaurant, a few minutes away from the flat, that wisely combines fresh local ingredients and top creativity. Great quality, well worth the price. A big table is available inside, wither for groups or to share, plus a few tables along Via Cavour. Very good wine selection.

A old-style café, recently renovated, which has nonetheless kept its clientele and typical Sicilian production: from sweet to savoury, each single item sold here will definitely not disappoint you! A lot of choice for a quick snack, a few steps away from the street market.

Shopping

A unique atelier where everything is designed di Caroline, a Dutch artist who moved here a long time ago and found the ideal place to express her creativity. For original, fun, affordable gifts for friends, family and...yourself!

Parks & Nature

Vendicari is everything: 9 k of beaches, a unique park with great bird watching, a trip in ancient history (Medieval catacombs, Byzantine church, ruins of a tuna factory,...) and lots of nature. A must-go place about 40 minutes away from Siracusa (strictly by car - or by bike for good bikers!).
