Money-Saving Tips
Shop at Ortigia Market before noon for lunch supplies - fresh panelle sandwiches cost 60% less than cafe versions
Buy the Syracuse combo ticket for €20 that covers both the Archaeological Park and Paolo Orsi Museum
Walk across Ponte Umbertino instead of taking taxis between Ortygia and mainland - saves €10-15 per trip
Eat standing at the bar for coffee - table service adds €2-3 per drink
Use AST city buses to reach beaches for €1.50 instead of €25 taxi rides
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Eating dinner on Ortygia's main piazza restaurants (typically 80-120% more expensive than side street trattorie)
Taking taxis from the train station to hotels (walkable distance saves €15-20)
Booking boat tours through hotels instead of directly at the port (usually 30% markup)
