Ortygia and Syracuse 5 – 12 November 2024
A week-long winter break in Sicily was supposed to offer us some winter sun but the weather was so bad that it didn’t go to plan. Although it was warm enough – about 20 degrees most days – it rained heavily frequently. We managed to have a couple of nice birding experiences despite this.
