Syracuse

Syracuse, perched on the southeast coast of Sicily, is a UNESCO World Heritage city celebrated for its 2,700-year history, vivid Greek and Roman ruins, and the atmospheric island district of Ortigia. Ancient treasures such as the vast fifth-century-BC Greek Theater and the Ear of Dionysius quarry sit alongside graceful Baroque palaces, lively markets, and sun-drenched piazzas. Framed by the Ionian Sea, the city offers inviting beaches, fresh seafood trattorias, and easy access to Mount Etna’s wine country, making it a captivating blend of archaeology, culture, and Mediterranean charm.
