While it may not be the most exceptional beach (don't expect anything like the Maldives here...), it does offer a fantastic opportunity for a final dive during your visit to Syracuse. Don't forget to bring your towels, as there are convenient fresh water showers available on-site!
The beach in Ortigia and its surrounding area is a one-of-a-kind and pleasant spot for swimming. However, it tends to get quite crowded with rocks during the warmer months. Despite that, it's still worth checking out if you happen to be in the heat. The sunbathing area on the rocks and the water were also relatively clean, which is quite uncommon for beaches in Italy/Sicily.
This beach is a hidden gem, teeming with fish and boasting an incredible shoreline.
This small beach offers fantastic views of Ortigia. Don't rely on Google Maps to find it, as it may lead you the wrong way through the peninsula. Instead, follow Via della Maddalena. Access to the beach is through the gates of Villa Maddalena, which has a passageway leading to the stairs down to the beach. It's very easy to get to.
