Get ready to savor the fresh flavors of the Mediterranean sea as you wander through the picturesque alleys of Syracuse. Discover Sicily’s Ancient Greek heritage, sip local white wines, try new flavors, and uncover hidden gems… it’s all included in our Streaty Syracuse Fish & Wine Walking Tour. A small-group experience designed for lovers of fish, wine, and gourmet cuisine.

The Streaty Ortigia Food Tour begins in the central Piazza Pancali, on the island of Ortigia (Syracuse). You’ll be welcomed by a local Sicilian guide, carefully selected and trained to lead food and cultural experiences. The tour kicks off with a visit to the Syracuse food market, where you’ll sample the catch of the day: octopus, fish bruschettas, and, for those who wish, fresh fish crudo prepared on the spot. As you explore the lively market stalls, you’ll learn about seasonal ingredients and everyday Sicilian life. This is a fully immersive food and cultural experience.

After the market tastings, your guide will lead you through Ortigia’s charming alleys to try the unmissable fish cone. Along the way, you’ll admire the elegant Fountain of Diana, with its mythological figures rooted in Ancient Greek tradition. There’s more to discover before you sit down for a lunch featuring fish pasta, followed by a refreshing lemon dessert.

And of course, no experience would be complete without wine: during the tour, you’ll enjoy three Sicilian wines, perfectly paired with the dishes. As you taste, your guide will share stories of Syracuse through the ages — from the Greeks to the Arabs and the Spanish. As we like to say…food is the master key to unlocking the secrets of Sicilian culture. And our Ortigia Food Tour is the perfect expression of this philosophy.
