My trip in SICILY! Part 1: the labyrinthine Ortigia

in italy •  7 years ago 

Hi guys! I wanted to share with you some pictures that I took two years ago in the beautiful, astonishing Sicily!
I'll start from Ortigia, a small island which is the historical centre of Syracuse. The echoes of the past resound in the labyrinth of narrow streets and ancient monuments..Everywhere you go, you can breath the scent of the sea mixed with the smell of the local food. A paradise!

Sicily from the plane!
