Spiaggia Diana nel Forte

8 Rina Teca

The beach in Ortigia and its surrounding area is a one-of-a-kind and pleasant spot for swimming. However, it tends to get quite crowded with rocks during the warmer months. Despite that, it's still worth checking out if you happen to be in the heat. The sunbathing area on the rocks and the water were also relatively clean, which is quite uncommon for beaches in Italy/Sicily.

The beach is quite small and accessible, but it could be a bit cleaner.
