Being in the centre of the old town, the Algilà Ortigia Charme is surrounded by points of historical interest such as the Cathedral of Syracuse, Temple of Apollo, Castello Maniace and Roman amphitheatre as well as numerous restaurants, shops, bars and a rocky beach. The vast majority of attractions are within walking distance and there are complimentary bicycles for the guests use.

The Algilà Ortigia Charme Hotel is situated in the centre of Ortigia, a small island which is the historical centre of the city of Syracuse. Renowned for its Greek heritage, Ortigia is a UNESCO landmark for its "remarkable testimony of the Mediterranean cultures over the centuries” with many historical landmarks. The island, also known as the Città Vecchia, is connected to the modern city via a bridge which stretches across a narrow strip of sea. There is a variety of outdoor restaurants and elegant piazzas surrounded by the crystalline sea. Porto Piccolo is a small boat harbour in Ortigia.
 

Syracuse is a city rich in Greek and Roman architecture and which Cicero once considered to be the most beautiful of all the Greek cities. Perhaps most famously, the city of Syracuse is home to one of the greatest ancient Greek Theatres dating back to the 5th century BC and large enough to hold an audience of up to 15,000. This theatre draws history enthusiasts from all over the world and is still used to this day in the annual Greek Theatre festival (May/June).

With other attractions such as the 3rd century Roman amphitheatre and the archaeological museum as well as an abundance of shops, restaurants and bars, Syracuse is a fantastic location in which to spend a cultural holiday.
