Cruising
Sometimes when you mention you are going on a cruise people look at you and say ‘Oh nice, I couldn’t be trapped on a boat’.

Siracusa & Ortygia
We booked a tour to Siracusa and Ortygia from Taormina. Siracusa is about an hour or so south of Taormina. When we were planning our trip we asked around about the ‘must see’ places and Siracusa was one that came up over and over. I’m glad we decided to do a Siracusa and Ortygia tour. The first stop was the Archaeological…
