DESCRIPTION
 
Syracuse, in the southeastern corner of Sicily, is located between the Great Port and the Iblei mountains. Its oldest portion is actually an island called Ortegia, which harbors the famous Spring of Arethusa of Greek mythology, as well as the Temple of Apollo. "Syracuse" comes from the word Sirako, which in Greek means "swamp". Syracuse hosts some of the most important archeological sites in the world and one of the most important archeological museum in Europe. Every two years the Greek theatre of Syracuse welcomes the representations of classic plays and still offers the visitor particularly fascinating tourist routes because of its urban landscape’s exclusivity, the variety of its cultural heritage, witness of its many rulers (Greek-Hellenistic, early-Christian, Byzantine, Arabic, Svevian, Hispanic-Catalan, Baroque) all flourished within a unique Mediterranean environment.
