Syracuse —
Syracuse, a stunning jewel on Sicily’s sun-drenched coastline, effortlessly blends ancient history with modern elegance. Founded in 734 BC, this ancient Greek city exudes charm with its wealth of historical monuments, from Greek ruins to baroque architecture. With crystal-clear waters and vibrant cultural offerings, Syracuse promises an unforgettable mix of relaxation and discovery.
Don't miss:
- Parco Archeologico della Neapolis: Explore the vast archaeological park, home to the magnificent Greek Theatre, the acoustically perfect Ear of Dionysius, and ruins that speak to Syracuse’s glorious past.
- Ortigia Island: Wander the atmospheric streets of this historic island, where the Piazza del Duomo dazzles with baroque grandeur, and the Fountain of Arethusa enchants with its mythical charm.
- Temple of Apollo: One of Sicily’s oldest Doric temples, this ancient ruin stands at the entrance to Ortigia, offering a window into the city’s powerful history.
- Castello Maniace: This 13th-century fortress, perched on Ortigia’s tip, offers panoramic views of the Ionian Sea, evoking a sense of historic majesty.
Culinary culture:
Syracuse’s cuisine celebrates Sicily’s coastal bounty, with a focus on fresh seafood. Relish dishes like pasta alla Norma, a combination of pasta, fried eggplant, tomato sauce, and ricotta salata, or try the local favourite arancini—crispy rice balls filled with savoury fillings. Indulge in grilled fish, such as spaghetti with sea urchins, paired with Nero d’Avola, Sicily’s signature red wine. Finish with a refreshing granita, a quintessential Sicilian dessert.
Diver deeper:
