Thanks so much Eleanor a.Great photos and informationIn response to your post, I've eventually got round to writing travel articles for Ortygia and also Taormina. Hopefully you may find them helpful in deciding where to stay... They have lots of photos as well as information about things to do and see in both places. I spent about two days exploring Taormina (as you can probably gather, I like churches). I spent a day around Ortygia and could have spent longer there. I didn't have chance to visit Syracuse.
Thanks againIf you love churches, you will be spoilt for choice!
Do try and visit the Cathedral in Ortygia - it is so completely different to any other I've ever visited and you can really still feel what it was like as a Greek Temple. I was disappointed I didn't get into the Basilica of St Peter the Apostle.
