About this listen

Our Thanksgiving weekend in 2021 was anything but traditional. We decided to take a train to Sicily's southeastern most point to the beautiful city of Siracusa (Syracuse), which was, at one point, one of the most important cities in all of the Greek empire. The Isola di Ortigia (Island of Ortigia) is a gem filled with some of the most stunning ancient temples and examples of Greek and Byzantine architecture in the Mediterranean. From grilled sardine bruschetta to German-speaking Italian waiters and a late-night concert outside the window of our B&B, this was a weekend we'll always remember. We're so excited to share this beautiful memory with all of you! Thanks for vibing with us!
