A festival of colours, scents and authentic flavours of our country, is the charm of the ancient markets.
At the entrance of Ortygia, you will be greeted by the aroma of all kinds of spices, chilli peppers from Etna, almond cakes, as well as seafood and fresh fish.
A small market enlivened by colourful “vanniate”, catchy phrases in Sicilian shouted to attract customers.
Buy a rarity: Strattu, a wonderful natural tomato paste, useful for enriching sauces and stews. A nice opportunity to get to know our local products and learn new Sicilian recipes.
