The 10 Best Classes & Workshops in Syracuse, Sicily
Once one of ancient Greece’s most important cities, today Syracuse (Siracusa in Italian) is a lively town of about 125,000 on Sicily’s southeast coast. The city overflows with amazing remnants from its long history. Romans, Vandals and Normans are but a few of those who ruled here after the Greeks. In Syracuse’s harbor, Ortygia Island (also called Città Vecchia or Old City) is the site of many of the main attractions, including the seventh-century cathedral and the Fountain of Arethusa.

My family of five, including kids 10, 8 and 5 years old, had the best day cooking with Fiora! We met her in the morning, visited the market, decided on a menu for lunch and bought all the ingredients fresh from the butcher, fishmonger and farmers. Fiora is a great presence and knows her vendors well -- we were able to get the freshest fish, meat and other products. We then returned to her apartment, which is stunning, and all together prepared one of the best meals of our lives! Fiora had made homemade cannoli shells in the morning before she met us and served them with fresh ricotta cream. They were amazing! My entire family loved it ! This is an experience that we will be talking about for the rest of our lives. Thank you Fiora! We hope to see you again soon.

Angela is an excellent local artisan specializing in several types of print-making. She offers a wonderful and worthwhile two hour workshop appropriate for absolute beginners and professional artists alike. My wife and I left with two prints each and big smiles on our faces. Angela is not only charming and kind but also very generous. We felt welcomed, supported and encouraged the entire time. Our only complaint was that we hadn't more time to spend with Angela! This is an amazing gem of an artshop and workshop experience. If you happen to travel to Siracusa you must visit Ortigia and if in Ortigia we encourage you to stop by Angela's shop, L'Arte per Linciso. We give five out of five stars!!!!!

I'm Veronica and I'm a Sicilian cook! My experience is strictly family. A culinary tradition handed down from father to daughter and from mother to son, with my grandmother. Cooking for me is passion, tradition, culture. I prepare traditional Sicilian dishes: caponatina, arancini, Nebrodi pork sauce, matalotta fish and much more. I am a precise and organized person, very attentive to detail and cleanliness
