Where To Stay in Syracuse, Sicily and Ortigia. Most visitors will understandably want to stay on the island of Ortigia as its narrow whitewash streets and closeness to the sea offer the most romantic, alluring setting; most places you'll want to go will also only be a short walk or bicycle ride away.

Depending upon your interests, I would allot 3-4 nights just for those two and then more if taking day trips. A guidebook will provide lots of great information as well as maps and general logistics. We stayed in Ortigia for 2.5 days/3 nights with an afternoon visit to Noto and a day in Siracuse.
