THE place to visit! You can't miss this colourful show, featuring daily next to the Apollo Temple, close to the entrance to the island. Local produce - fruit and vegetable, fish, eggs and bread - anything you can imagine and more, a sure success for the mouth and the eyes (and the ears too!).

Every saturday, in the early morning, I spent some hours here, fresh vegetables and fruits, fresh fish and succulent sandwiches. A beautiful place! At 5 minutes walk from home.

Just inside the Ortigia island you cannot but admire visiting the sands of the street market, where the sellers describe their products singing tunes in the local dialect, with a funny and folk accent. It seems to be inside a typical arabic souq. Here you can admire the sands full of food as vegetables, meats, dairy products, legume and mostly fish, seafood and several fish products, which the stands of are old shops (owned by several families of fishermen well known in Siracusa and in all its province), and above all the "Vanniate" (screams) of who is the seller, bringing the tourist in an atmosphere far from the cold modernity of nowadays, where the products were really natural, and were sold in a folk way by the "Principale" (the one who owned the stand) and the "Picciotti" (litterally means "the guys", but means the guys who were beside the ownner selling in the stand), or by the "larzuni" (which meant "the boy" but it was used for the shop assistants), and people used to run there to buy the food (natural and with no doubts more tasty of the ones you now buy in the malls) that the nature gave to the people who were working hard to feed their families. All of this still happens in this street market and in all the other daily, weekly or biweekly ones in the rest of the cities of the province.

Don’t miss the daily open market where you can taste, buy and see local products. Open everyday until 3 Pm except for Sundays. Try one of the local “Bottega” for a lunch break. Our favorite? Burgio and Borderi!
