Complimenti da Siracusano sono felice 😃 che visitate Siracusa bravi!! Tornate presto !!

Bravissimi ragazzi,il più bel documentario fatto su Ortigia completato dai vostri splendidi sorrisi.THANK YOU

Oh my god, you guys are my absolute fave. I'm literally 2 months away from arriving in Rome. 3 months from Palermo. My family on my moms side is Sicilian, with the last name Mannina, (from Ventimiglia). I can not wait to get there, and study the history. Thank for the videos. They have helped a ton, and make me nothing but excited to arrive!

The city Ive been waiting for!!! Thank u so much for great video🧡

Definitely a pretty chill small city in Sicily. I agree with just walking around and having nowhere to really be. Your best bet is taking a cab to the ancient site 15 mins away and hitting up the bars along the water. Also a very liberal city, the only place in Italy that I smelt weed!

hope you enjoyed my city. I have been living in another city for three years and I miss Syracuse so much. Unfortunately we do not have a good policy and the city often does not have services and is dirty, this I am very sorry, because with its history, its sea and its food, it is unique in the world. I miss him so much. Forgive me for my terrible English. I embrace you, Chiara.

Bellissimo video!in agosto sarò li a siracusa

Syracusa is definitely my favorite because of its old town on a peninsula jetting out into the crystal clear clean Mediterranean Sea. Now I learn that old town of Syracusa is called Ortigia.

Yohohoh this is my city, a beatiful place...in summer.

Hi guys, love your videos and beautiful footage of all the places you've visited. We're planning a trip to Syracuse in July and wondering where you stayed in the city. Thanks in advance. ;)

Ciao. Noi siamo di Siracusa, è stato bello vedere il vostro video. Spero di incontrarvi, magari con una bella giornata e senza ombrello da 5€ 😁🌞

Unfortunate that you weren't there during better weather. There really is so much to do and see there and the markets are fun. The Medicane was a pretty big event for that part of Sicily.

Great video. So informative and interesting. Can you do a video about Roseto Foggia? Much of the Italian community in the United States and Canada traces its origins to that little town.

Enjoy your Sicily videos ,,, did you do one on Ragusa ?

Totally agree Ortigia is so beautiful and charming...I saw the most beautiful "bar," it was candles in a beautiful courtyard. Stayed in a courtyard place with keys. It's crazy romantic, I just need to return with a partner.🤣

@TheGlobalExpats

Hey Alfredo, I have not encountered any problems flying my drone yet. If there are no drone shots in a video that is because that area is locked and the drone will not take off, however, my drone is fully registered with the Italian (European) aviation authorites and is legal to fly in the open zones. I have a DJI Mini 2 and so it does not have as many restrictions as the bigger drones. You can find the registration website here, just be cautious of your surroundings and abide by the rules, and you should be fine! 😅 www.d-flight.it/web-app/
