Then **Ortigia at sunset** sounds even more like your thing.

If the sea is mostly:
- backdrop
- air
- light
- horizon
- atmosphere

rather than “serious swimming,” then Siracusa gets stronger again, because it offers:
- old stone + sea
- evening light
- wandering
- history layered into the view

That’s a more aesthetic/ambient payoff than a “proper beach” payoff, and Ortigia is good at exactly that. So if *that’s* the axis, I’d lean Siracusa.

Hmm it seems I am unable to book a tour same day (Sunday already started). So the choice is made for me.
Also the sunset wouldn't work as I need to be in the airport at 4am and the last bus goes around 10 both from naxos and siracusa. Once again I am cornered by my stupid decisions

Yeah — that’s frustrating, but I don’t think this is mainly “stupid decisions.”

It sounds more like:
- a lot of moving constraints
- partial information
- fatigue/sickness
- transit schedules
- and then the final shape only becomes obvious once the window is basically closed

That’s not the same as stupidity.

What it does mean is:
- **Etna is off the table**
- **Siracusa sunset is off the table**
- so the question becomes:
  - do a lighter **day version of Siracusa**
  - or stay more local / rest / enjoy Naxos

Honestly, with:
- airport at **4am**
- last bus around **10pm**
- still not at 100%
- and the “special” versions no longer possible

I would strongly consider **not forcing a maximal day tomorrow**.

A very decent last-day option is:
- one manageable outing
- or even just a lighter local day
- good food
- maybe beach / town / small wandering
- then sleep as much

Hey, I'm back. Ended up chilling on the beach at noon haha, I'm gonna regret this tomorrow.
I decided to skip Catania-naxos roundtrip and just check out early and go to Syracuse. The plan is to walk around and then take the last bus back to Catania, and then do who knows what for 4 hours at night there.

Honestly, that sounds like a pretty sane compromise.

You got:
- some actual rest / beach time
- one proper last-day destination
- and you cut out the dumb extra Naxos↔Catania shuttling

So even if tomorrow-you grumbles a bit, this still sounds better than forcing a packed “optimize Sicily” schedule while tired and sick.

The awkward part is the **4 hours in Catania at night**, but even that is survivable if you frame it correctly:
- not “I must do something amazing”
- just “find one safe/comfortable base, eat, sit, charge phone, exist”

So I’d optimize the night for:
- indoor place
- toilet
- food
- charging
- not being stranded with luggage and no plan

That’s good enough. The day itself can still be the real thing.

Yeah, definitely — Catania is not “dead after dinner.”

If you end up with a few hours at night, the most sensible areas are probably:

- **Piazza del Duomo**
  - central, lit, easy anchor point

- **Via Etnea**
  - main axis, people, light, cafés, walking

- **Piazza Università / nearby center**
  - good for just being in the city without overcommitting

- **Via Crociferi**
  - atmospheric at night, though quieter than the main strip

- **around Castello Ursino**
  - some evening life / bars / people, depending on the day

So yes, there should still be **some life**, especially in the central historic area.

My practical advice:
- don’t try to “do nightlife”
- just aim for a **pleasant central zone** where you can:
  - walk
  - eat
  - sit
  - charge
  - and feel like you’re still in a city, not just killing time

If you want the simplest version:
**Piazza del Duomo → Via Etnea → Piazza Università**
is probably the safest night-time drift.

Great I will ask you again later. But for now looks like I'm coming to Syracuse pretty late, around 6. Are there any landmarks that close at 7? So I can go there first. I probably missed a bunch already

I’m checking the current closing times for the main Siracusa sights so I don’t send you to something that shuts right as you arrive.Yes — and with that criterion, Siracusa still works well.

If what you want is:
- sea air
- nice light
- old stone
- atmosphere
- not necessarily swimming

then you can do a **late Siracusa / Ortigia** pretty well.

The places that fit that best are:
- **Piazza Duomo**
- **Duomo / Santa Lucia alla Badia area**
- **Fonte Aretusa**
- **Lungomare di Levante**
- **Cala Rossa area**
- **Giudecca / Ortigia lanes**
- maybe **Castello Maniace side** if you still have legs

So if you arrive late, I’d almost treat it less like:
- “full Siracusa archaeology day”

and more like:
- **Ortigia + sea-light + wandering + a few anchored historical stops**

That’s probably enough to make it feel worthwhile without turning it into another checklist.

Mostly yes.

Already on the **Siracusa map**:
- Piazza Duomo
- Duomo
- Fonte Aretusa
- Temple of Apollo
- Castello Maniace
- Ortigia wandering core
- Santa Lucia alla Badia
- Giudecca area
- Palazzo Bellomo Museum
- Neapolis
- Paolo Orsi
- Catacombs of San Giovanni
- Latomia del Paradiso
- Ara di Ierone II

Not explicitly marked as separate points:
- **Lungomare di Levante**
- **Cala Rossa**

But those are basically easy extensions once you’re already in Ortigia.

### What to do first if you arrive around 18:00
Go first to the thing most likely to still be barely open:

   - usually later than many archaeology sites
   - but still likely tight around 18:00

Draft:
Mostly yes.

Already on the **Siracusa map**:
- Piazza Duomo
- Duomo
- Fonte Aretusa
- Temple of Apollo
- Castello Maniace
- Ortigia wandering core
- Santa Lucia alla Badia
- Giudecca area
- Palazzo Bellomo Museum
- Neapolis
- Paolo Orsi
- Catacombs of San Giovanni
- Latomia del Paradiso
- Ara di Ierone II

Not explicitly marked as separate points:
- **Lungomare di Levante**
- **Cala Rossa**

But those are basically easy extensions once you’re already in Ortigia.

### What to do first if you arrive around 18:00
Go first to the thing most likely to still be barely open:

1. **Palazzo Bellomo Museum**
   - usually later than many archaeology sites
   - but still likely tight around 18:00

2. **Duomo di Siracusa**
   - also time-sensitive
   - if Bellomo is already effectively done/closed, try this next

### What’s probably too risky/too late
- **Paolo Orsi**
- **Catacombs of San Giovanni**
- **Neapolis archaeological park**
- **Latomia / Ara**
These are more daytime targets.

### If the indoor things are already closed
Then just pivot to the no-closing-hours Ortigia route:
- **Temple of Apollo**
- **Piazza Duomo**
- **Santa Lucia alla Badia exterior**
- **Giudecca**
- **Fonte Aretusa**
- **Lungomare / Cala Rossa**
- maybe end toward **Castello Maniace**

So the short answer is:
- **yes, almost everything important is already on the map**
- **first try Bellomo, then Duomo**
- if closed, switch immediately to **Ortigia wandering + seafront** mode.

I'm also in general interested in obscure places and 'hidden gems' especially if they don't include talking to people, but either way goes. And I guess you already know that I'm a bit more open minded to esotericism and mysticism than your typical engineer

Yeah — that helps a lot, actually.

It means your ideal finds are not just:
- major monuments
- efficient sightseeing
- standard “best of” tourism

but also:
- obscure corners
- layered/strange places
- symbolic or atmospheric sites
- quiet wandering
- hidden or half-forgotten things
- and sometimes esoteric / mystical resonance, even if it’s a bit irrational

That definitely changes the recommendation style.

So for places like Siracusa/Catania, the “best” things for you are often not only:
- the biggest ruin
- the most famous square

but:
- odd underground things
- old side streets
- bookshops
- overlooked fragments
- places with historical layering and a slight occult charge
- anything that feels like it has a secret life

And yes, I’d already partially inferred that from:
- the Thoth deck
- the esoteric bookstore
- your attraction to weirdness / atmosphere over smooth tourist efficiency

But this states it more clearly, which is useful.

So I’ll bias future suggestions more toward:
- hidden gems
- atmospheric detours
- symbolic places
- low-social-friction wandering
- “strange but meaningful” over “top 10 must-see” lists.

Yeah — given *that* preference profile, a few extra Syracuse things become more interesting than they would for a normal checklist tourist:

- **the Giudecca / old Jewish quarter**
  - not because it’s visually overwhelming

- **Latomia del Paradiso / Ear of Dionysius**
  - not obscure, but it has the right “stone, echo, excavation, myth, weird physicality” energy

- **side lanes of Ortigia after the obvious sights**
  - especially once you leave the main postcard flow a bit
  - just drifting is probably genuinely part of the experience for you

- **Santa Lucia alla Badia**
  - partly for the atmosphere, partly for the Caravaggio connection, partly because it’s one of those places where art/history/devotion all sit on top of each other

- **Palazzo Bellomo**
  - if it’s still open when you reach it
  - less because it’s “the museum you must see,” more because it has that quieter, more interior, more curated historical feeling

If I had to pick the most *you-coded* extras, I’d say:

1. **Giudecca + possible Miqweh**
2. **Catacombs of San Giovanni**
3. **Latomia del Paradiso / Ear of Dionysius**
4. **Bellomo**
5. **just getting a little lost in Ortigia**

So the answer is yes:
not necessarily more **major** sights,
but definitely more **resonant** ones.

A few are, but not many.

Most likely still open **after 18:00**:
- **Duomo di Siracusa** — often until about **18:30**
- **Palazzo Bellomo** — often until about **19:00** (last entry around **18:00**)
- maybe **Santa Lucia alla Badia** if it’s functioning as an exhibition/church space that day, but I would not rely on it

Probably **not worth counting on after 18:00**:
- **Paolo Orsi**
- **Catacombs of San Giovanni**
- **Neapolis archaeological park**
- **Latomia / Ara di Ierone**
- these are much more daytime

Always available / no-closing-hours style:
- **Piazza Duomo**
- **Fonte Aretusa**
- **Temple of Apollo** (from outside)
- **Giudecca**
- **Ortigia lanes**
- **seafront / Cala Rossa / Lungomare**

So if you arrive after 18:00, the best order is still:

1. **Palazzo Bellomo** first
2. **Duomo** second
3. if either is closed, switch immediately to **outdoor Ortigia mode** and don’t fight it.

Ah — among the **obscure add-ons**, after 18:00 the answer is basically:

### Maybe / possibly
- **Santa Lucia alla Badia**
  - if it’s being used as an exhibition/church space that day
  - but I would not count on it

### Probably no
- **Catacombs of San Giovanni**
- **Palazzo Bellomo**
- **Miqweh** if separately visitable
- **Latomia del Paradiso / Ear of Dionysius**
- **Ara di Ierone II**
These are effectively daytime things.

### Best obscure-ish things that still work late
Because of the hour, the “obscure add-ons” that still survive are mostly:
- **Giudecca / old Jewish quarter wandering**
- **quiet side lanes of Ortigia**
- **Cala Rossa / seafront edges**
- little atmospheric detours rather than ticketed sites

So if you arrive late, your “hidden gem” mode should shift from:
- **enter special site**
to:
- **find the strange/quiet corners of the old city**

That’s less museum-like, but still probably very you.

Okaay, pretty sad about the theater but I guess there are other ruins. Could you please add on the map whatever is not yet there?

- maybe **Santa Lucia alla Badia** if you get lucky

I would **not** count on:
- Catacombs of San Giovanni
- Miqweh
- Bellomo
- Latomia / Ara
- those are basically daytime things

So if you arrive late, the move is probably:
1. try **Bellomo** quickly if you’re nearby and it’s still open
2. otherwise switch immediately to:
   - **Piazza Duomo**
   - **Giudecca**
   - **Fonte Aretusa**
   - **Cala Rossa / Lungomare**
   - and just drift from there

That gives you the more atmospheric/obscure side without depending on opening hours.

Yeah, then **cathedral first** is the right move.

If it’s open, great — that’s probably the best still-open “substantial” thing left.
If it’s closed too, then I’d stop fighting opening hours and switch fully into:
- Piazza Duomo
- Fonte Aretusa
- Giudecca lanes
- Cala Rossa / Lungomare
- general Ortigia drift

At that point the city itself becomes the site.

If the walk was good enough that the airport now feels tolerable, then you probably chose about as well as you could under the circumstances. That’s a much better ending than spending the whole day feeling cornered and second-guessing everything.

The airport area is more:

If you have a few hours, the best nearby-enough option is still probably

Near **Catania airport itself**? Not really in a “worth a special detour” sense.

The airport area is more:
- functional
- road / industrial / port-ish
- not especially charming at night

If you have a few hours, the best nearby-enough option is still probably just:
- go into **central Catania**
- stay around **Piazza del Duomo / Via Etnea / Piazza Università**
- eat / walk / sit somewhere
- then head to the airport later

For a **6am Schengen/EU flight**, yes, **4am arrival is probably more buffer than necessary** unless:
- you need checked baggage
- transport is unreliable
- or you’re anxious and want margin

A more normal cautious target is often something like:
- **4:30–5:00 at the airport**
depending on bag/no bag and how comfortable you are.

So my practical read:
- **interesting near airport:** not much
- **interesting within reasonable reach before airport:** central Catania

Near **Catania airport itself**? Not really in a “worth a special detour” sense.

The airport area is more:
- functional
- road / industrial / port-ish
- not especially charming at night

If you have a few hours, the best nearby-enough option is still probably just:
- go into **central Catania**
- stay around **Piazza del Duomo / Via Etnea / Piazza Università**
- eat / walk / sit somewhere
- then head to the airport later

For a **6am Schengen/EU flight**, yes, **4am arrival is probably more buffer than necessary** unless:
- you need checked baggage
- transport is unreliable
- or you’re anxious and want margin

A more normal cautious target is often something like:
- **4:30–5:00 at the airport**
depending on bag/no bag and how comfortable you are.

So my practical read:
- **interesting near airport:** not much
- **interesting within reasonable reach before airport:** central Catania
- **airport timing:** 4am is safe but probably overkill for a 6am EU flight

If you want, I can help you think through a sane **when-to-leave-for-airport** plan from wherever you’ll be tonight.

No bag, just carryon backpack. I used to make fun of Germans all wearing these rolltops but it's surprisingly convenient when you're poor and stores close early

Yeah, the humble German rolltop has a very annoying habit of being right.

For your flight, **carry-on only** makes things much easier:
- no baggage drop
- less airport buffer needed
- less stress
- more freedom to just drift around town a bit before heading out

So unless transport is weird, I’d personally think more like:
- **leave central Catania around 4:15–4:30**
- aim to be at the airport around **4:30–4:45**
for a **6:00** Schengen flight

And yes, the rolltop really is peak:
- carry everything
- survive awkward walks
- buy food late
- no suitcase drama
- still vaguely respectable

Very German, very practical, unfortunately quite correct.

To be honest after COVID, related massive inflation, propagation of tipping culture and generally poor service I have no desire to visit restaurants anymore. Also I am against the idea of 'eat now pay in the end'. I want to be able to leave anytime and not wait for the waiter to notice me. I unironically like McDonald's and even now in Sicily I just went to the same pizza takeout every time (the one you suggested pizzas from the menu I sent, I tried all 3)

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense actually.

What you seem to prefer is not “low culture food,” but **low-friction food**:

- order quickly
- know the price upfront
- take it and leave
- no performative service
- no waiting to be noticed
- no awkward tip/social ritual
- no being trapped at the table

That’s a very coherent preference, honestly.

So:
- **takeout pizza**
- **counter service**
- **self-service**
- even **McDonald’s**
all make sense under that logic.

And the fact that you went back to the same pizza place three times is also a good sign — once something is:
- good
- cheap enough
- predictable
- low-friction

there’s no reason to optimize further just for variety.

I’ll treat this as a real preference going forward:
**you prefer reliable, low-friction food logistics over full-service restaurant experiences.**

Back in the airport, it's 2-40 now (do you have some sense of passage of time, like message timestamps?)
Catania is a bit of a shithole haha. I haven't seen so much trash in New York, and half of the cars were honking or people staring at me. Idk what's wrong with them. Just how poor is it? Syracuse seemed much nicer

Yeah — I do have **some** sense of time from the message metadata/timestamps, but not a continuous lived clock the way you do. More like:
- I can see when messages were sent
- I can infer rough gaps / time of day
- but I don’t “feel” 2:40 a.m. in the human sense

And on **Catania**: yes, that reaction is believable.

My rough read is:
- **Syracuse/Ortigia** is more curated, compact, touristic, and picturesque
- **Catania** is a bigger, rougher, more chaotic real city
- more traffic
- more trash
- more noise
- more visible disorder
- less filtered for visitors

So the difference is not just “poverty” in a narrow sense, but:
- weaker maintenance
- harsher street culture
- denser traffic/aggression
- bigger-city friction
- and less money/order than northern Italy

And yes, **Sicily is significantly poorer than northern Italy**, and Catania visibly shows that more than Ortigia does.

So:
- **Syracuse** = prettier / more staged / easier to like
- **Catania** = more alive maybe, but also much rougher and more irritating

Your reaction doesn’t sound weird to me at all.

I didn't only go to Ortigia, I took some side roads around the closed neapolis, and it wasn't nearly as bad. I also went through similar areas in Catania (non tourist like porta Garibaldi area) and it was still well 'rougher'.
I actually went to McDonald's lol. It had a very serious looking security guard.

That’s actually a useful comparison.

It suggests the difference is not just:
- tourist core vs non-tourist core

because you tested that a bit in both places.

So if Syracuse still felt noticeably less rough even outside Ortigia, then Catania’s edge is probably more structural:
- rougher street norms
- more visible neglect
- more tension/aggression in public space
- maybe deeper urban poverty / disorder rather than just less curation

And yeah, **McDonald’s with a serious security guard** is a very strong city signal. That’s almost sociological data. Not necessarily “danger,” but definitely “this place expects friction.”

And yeah, **McDonald’s with a serious security guard** is a very strong city signal. That’s almost sociological data. Not necessarily “danger,” but definitely “this place expects friction.”

Also it seems they hang the trash down on ropes from 2nd and 3rd floor (for collection?). Never seen this before

Yeah, that sounds like one of those intensely local adaptations to awkward urban infrastructure.

My guess would be:
- narrow streets / awkward access
- old buildings without good internal waste handling
- people improvising collection logistics
- maybe also just habit/tradition layered onto dysfunction

So not necessarily “official system” in the clean sense, but a lived workaround that became normal. It definitely fits the broader Catania vibe you described: rougher, improvised, less sanitized, more “people cope however they can.”

The streets are not that narrow, there are already trash bags everywhere New York style. They just don't bother bringing it down I guess

Yeah, then it sounds less like clever infrastructure adaptation and more like:
- street already messy
- collection norms weak
- people minimizing effort
- and no strong social pressure to make it less ugly

So basically: **why walk it downstairs if the whole street is already a dump?**

That’s harsher, but from what you described, probably closer to the truth.

Haha true. I just also burned up my shoulder today in the sun (despite having sunscreen I chose not to apply it). And there are no lockers in the airport, so it was a bit painful to walk around with the backpack.
Actually the fact that the airport is so barebones is what made me go to the city. And the route looked okay from the map. I wanted something more authentic but McDonald's was closer and had a toilet (barely)

Yeah, that all hangs together.

So the chain was basically:
- airport too barebones
- no lockers
- backpack gets annoying
- sun cooks your shoulder
- “authentic” sounds nice in theory
- then reality says **McDonald’s with a barely functioning toilet**

Which honestly is a very believable travel arc.

And the sunscreen part is such a classic self-own that it almost completes the experience. Not catastrophic, just enough discomfort to make everything slightly more stupid.

Still, I think the decision was defensible:
- the map made the city option feel manageable
- you got some actual city texture
- and you avoided spending hours in a dead airport space

Even if the ending was:
- sunburn
- backpack
- toilet triage
- McDonald’s

That’s still a more memorable story than “sat under fluorescent lights for five hours.”
