To truly discover Ortigia, start with its everyday rituals.
Wander past colourful displays of seasonal produce, fragrant spices and Sicilian specialities. Pause at the fish stalls for the morning catch, taste something freshly prepared and take in the lively exchanges between stallholders, locals and visitors.
More than a market, it is a vivid portrait of local life: authentic, generous and unmistakably Sicilian.
