  • SYRACUSE SICILY 🇮🇹: Ortigia Island Like You've Never Seen Before!
    Ciao, travel enthusiasts! 🌍✨ Prepare for a Sicilian adventure like no other as we uncover the hidden treasures of Syracuse, Sicily!
    We spent three wonderful days in the charming island of Ortigia, immersing ourselves in the rich history and captivating beauty of this southern Sicilian gem.
    From the impressive castle and fort that stand as a testament to Syracuse's strategic importance, to the stunning Syracuse Cathedral with its intriguing blend of architectural styles, every moment was a step back in time.
    But the journey into the past didn't end there! We also visited the Apollo Temple, one of the oldest known Doric temples in Western Europe, and explored the vast Neapolis Archaeological Park, home to an ancient theatre and an impressive limestone quarry.

    Thanks for this VLOG. You have so expertly captured Ortigia. and have showcased its beauty and down to earth brilliance. We are going later in the year and your VLOG has been of immense help in both understanding the place and also planning things to do. Thanks again.

    Lived 6 monhs outside of Catania. Found the people not that friendly. Now for Syracuse. People was friendly. Food was out of this World. Thank God I was able to get out of Catania. Syracuse was and still is BEAUTIFUL!

      We really loved the small town feel of Syracuse, especially Ortigia. We felt we could spend at least 2-4 weeks there no problem. Catania was a big city feel, but still had the charm in the old district. Both places so different. Thanks so much for watching 🙏, we appreciate it! Cheers 🍻 Chris and Jim

    🎉Thank you, guys! Like this old town and spirit! But missed Portugal or Spain more,because it's more green and flowers).
    It's was in November?
    You, probably, in the different country already?? Will wait ✋️

    Awesome video guys! Also, do you use the automated chapter UA-cam places in? We have ours turned on but unfortunately the chapters don't generate ☹️

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  3 місяці тому

      Thanks guys ❤️ Yes, we let UA-cam do the chapters, but notice it takes a while for that to appear. I will have to go back and look if it's on all the videos 🤔

    Your video is excellent! Thank you!
    Did you rent the car for the 3 weeks? And did you rent it at the airport or on line before ? 😊

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  3 місяці тому +1

      Thank you 🙏 we rented for approximately 11 nights not counting our time in Catania and Palermo. I booked online with Expedia then picked up at the airport and dropped off at the Palermo airport on our way out. It’s good to book early and find cheaper prices, plus Expedia usually has free cancellation. Hopefully this helps! Cheers Chris and Jim 🥂

    Hi love your videos. In Ortigia.. how did you make sure that you would be alowed to have your car in Ortigia. Thank you 😊

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  2 місяці тому +1

      Thank you so much 😊 We just found street parking outside our Airbnb and the owner said it was free. Otherwise there are paid parking places available if we could not find street parking. Hopefully this helps! Cheers 🍻 Chris and Jim 😀

    What was the name of the place you got the charcuterie board?

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  2 місяці тому

      It was where they have the daily market in Ortigia, right across from the long stand where they sell fish and there is a really loud guy selling the fish. If you enter the market from the water side, its about 3-4 places in on the right side. Can't miss it. Pretty close to here: maps.app.goo.gl/XyA5nkUB3nGZu8sU8
