Ortigian saari: 3 rantaa alueella

One of my absolute favorite places in the world! During our trip to Sicily for my 50th birthday, my wife and I spent a few days in the area. While exploring, we stumbled upon this enchanting rock where people were casually changing out of their regular clothes to take a refreshing swim in the stunning cobalt sea. Some were wearing bathing suits, while others simply went in with whatever they had on underneath, and it didn't seem to matter at all. We even witnessed a man in a business suit undress down to his speedo, dive into the water, swim a considerable distance, and then air-dry before getting dressed and heading back to work. Now that's what I call achieving a perfect work-life balance!

If you happen to be in Ortigia, this beach is a great place for swimming and sunbathing. The water is incredibly clear, and you can enjoy a lovely view of Ortigia from the rocks.

Rakastin ehdottomasti tätä rantaa Siracusassa! Se saattaa olla pieni, mutta siellä on niin kodikas tunnelma. Suosittelisin sopivien kenkien käyttöä, sillä se voi olla hieman epämukavaa jaloille.

Ei oikeastaan ranta… vain pääsy veteen (kaupunki ei suosittele uimista siellä (katso kuva), mutta paikka, johon voi laittaa pyyhkeensä, auringonotto mahdollista, ei puhdasta ja avoin/hiekkainen, mutta vesi näyttää kirkkaalta.

Charming small beach. We visited on Saturday, October 15th around 11am and had it all to ourselves initially. It got busier later, but the atmosphere remained pleasant. The water was clean and clear, and it's conveniently close to food options and trash bins.
