Day 13: Messina/Siricusa, Sicily
We left our apartment this morning at 10:30, after having breakfast; a brioche with granita. We then drove 2 hours to Siricusa, with a brief 20 minute stop at a shopping centre on the way. We arrived to Siricusa at 1 pm, and then drove another 30 minutes to our hotel (Grand Hotel Villa Politi), where we checked in and unpacked. After we had lunch by the pool, we went swimming, and read for a few hours by the pool. We had a short amount of down time in the room, and then headed to Ortigia-a small island of the coast of Siricusa. There, we walked around by the sea, and had drinks and dinner, with the view of the sunset. The hotel we’re staying at is beautiful, and modern. So far, Siricusa is stunning, and we hope we enjoy our 4 days here before moving to the next place in Sicily!
