if you would like to experiance something different during your stay in Sicily then artisans world and their stories is something you should deffinetly not miss. Just let yourself dive in into Pelin's world of artisans in Ortigia, Siracusa.
She will walk you thru the lively streets of Ortigia and give you the feeling that you are the local, too.
I found her on the FB during paendemic time in 2021 and was just waited for my first trip to Sicily when I will meet her and her’s artisans world. Magical experiance for me! Thank you so much dear Pelin! Baci e a la prossima volta !

Another favorite was the family run linen shop, Cantarella what a Sellection!

We had an amazing time at the tour. The tour guide (Pelin) has a deep network of authentic relationships with Ortigia's master artisans. This really throws open the doors to a world that is otherwise inaccessible. We visited a combination of artisan workshops and shops which highlighted their passionate pursuit of excellence.
