Syracuse Beach Holiday

There's nothing like a Syracuse holiday to put a spring in your step. The soothing sound of rolling surf and the smell of fresh ocean air are sure to refresh your mind, body and soul. To be close to the town centre on your trip to Syracuse, find a hotel around Ognina Beach (only 10 kilometres away). If you're intending to stay for a bit, consider booking one of our Syracuse packages. Not only will you save cash, you'll also have other incredible beaches near you to explore, like Spiaggia del Minareto and Lido Cala Zaffiro. We call that a win-win!

  • If your idea of a memorable beach holiday involves staying in one of our apartments, Casale Milocca or Hotel Aranceto will suit you perfectly.
