All Days are Sunny in Syracuse
From 260€ per person
Description
Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 7 hours
There is everything in Syracuse, even Greece. Very ancient, with a theatre, quarries, and temples. There is even Ancient Rome here which tells about gladiators and Naumachia, gloomy catacombs and the first holy martyrs. Here still exist underground ritual baths - the mikveh that remained after the expulsion of Jews in the 15th century.
The whole city is filled with secrets and romance. Decorated with flowers, labyrinths of small streets, where sunny baroque interchanges with the shadow of Gothics or even the ghost of antiquity, pass into the space of squares with friendly street bars. The bright image of the city is completed with the blue sky, the shine of the waves near the island of Ortigia, the summer sun and the light sandstone of the city buildings. Syracuse is simply meant for walks!
Here we can run through the streets screaming "Eureka," sing in the ear of the tyrant Dionysus, see exactly where the comedy was born, find out why Caravaggio came here, what helped the English admiral Nelson to win the battle, engage in a measuring contest with the head of the column in Artemision, and touch the papyrus. The most inquisitive will learn the recipe for making Sicilian mummies

I live in Taormina for about 16 years and all this time I have been studying history, mythology and folklore of this wonderful island. I will be happy to show you my town -- Taormina, to tell about local traditions and give advice if you need what to see, what to buy and where to dine.
