Day 6 - Syracuse (Sicily-Italy)
Syracuse was one of Sicily’s most
prestigious cities and at the height of its splendour competed with Athens. Visiting Syracuse is
like stepping back in time to plunge oneself into the fabulous history of Sicily. Since its role as
a central city of ancient Greece, numerous civilisations have followed one another to these shores,
each leaving their mark. Arabs, Romans, Normans, Byzantines and Spanish influences give Syracuse
its extraordinarily rich culture, a mosaic of perfumes, colours and flavours.

tumble down the mountain to the Ionian Sea. Its ancient Greek theatre is the second largest in
Sicily, after the theatre at Syracuse, and offers a magnificent panorama with the majestic Mount
Etna, its lava flows still smoking, in the background.

of the Franco promontory, this mountainous island is almost exclusively granite. Perhaps the most
