The bay sits at the frontier between the eastern and western Mediterranean basin. The enormous fleets of all empires have found shelter in this bay for thousands of years.
The old Ortiggia is absolutely fantastic.

The downside of this bay is that weed and shells grow extremely quickly in this brackish water. The mussel farm in the opposite corner surely doesn’t help.

    In Syracuse, we were enchanted by Ortigia at dusk. Wandering through craft stalls, we stumbled upon a lively square where a busker serenaded us with opera. After exploring the grand Palazzo Borgia, we indulged in an amazing antipasti feast. What a Sicilian treat!

    Not far away, we found a quaint church with intriguing Greek-style columns hinting at its past. For just €2, its beautiful interiors are a steal.

    And if you’re up for some history, don’t miss the Ear of Dionysius. Bring along a guide and comfy shoes—it’s a walk worth taking!

During the height of the Venetian Republic, the Arsenal of Venice, once the largest industrial complex in Europe, was the heart of Venetian naval power. Here, shipbuilders worked tirelessly, crafting vessels that would dominate the seas. The speed and efficiency of the Arsenal’s production were so renowned that it inspired the term "arsenal" in several languages. While the port city of Genoa, home to Christopher Columbus, carry the legend that young Columbus would climb the hills of Genoa, gazing out at the sea, dreaming of far-off lands.
