Book a transfer from Catania to Syracuse (Siracusa) — once the most powerful city in the Greek world, now a magnificent archaeological treasure crowned by the enchanting island quarter of Ortigia.
The 65 km journey takes 1 to 1.5 hours heading south along the Sicilian eastern coast, with views of Mount Etna behind you and the Ionian Sea to the east.
Syracuse was the greatest city of Magna Graecia — more powerful than Athens in the 5th century BC, home to Archimedes, and praised by Cicero as the most beautiful of all Greek cities. The Archaeological Park of Neapolis contains a vast Greek theater (still used for performances), the Roman amphitheater, and the Ear of Dionysius limestone cave. The island of Ortigia, connected by a bridge, is Syracuse's baroque heart — a UNESCO World Heritage quarter of honey-colored palaces, the magnificent Piazza Duomo (built around a Greek temple), the Arethusa Fountain, and atmospheric lanes leading to waterfront seafood restaurants.
