Isola de Ortigia, Sicily

 

The Island of Ortigia is an easy walking village without many stairs or steep inclines. It has a beautiful church and we took this photo at night while there was almost a full moon.

We loved eating appetizers on the seaside with cocktails. The food in Sicily is amazing.  We overdosed on Gelato, pizza, cannoli's, pasta, seafood and bread.

Cave ruins dating back to the 7th century BC were in a park off the island and in Syracuse, a city near Ortigia on the mainland. All through the park were these cool sculptures in giant sizes.

Hundreds and thousands of tiny birds filled these trees at sundown and made the most racket you have ever heard.  You could see them flying in from all around the city.

The tiny streets in Ortigia are full of restaurants, shops and residences.
