    Hiking

    It is absolutely worthwhile to take a stroll through the old town of Syracuse. Praised in ancient times as the most beautiful Greek city, today you can admire several eras of architecture. On the side nice little streets with good restaurants.

    The city of Syracuse (Italian Siracusa) is the capital of the province of the same name. In ancient times, Syracuse was for several centuries the largest and most powerful city in Sicily and its cultural center. Marcus Tullius Cicero described her as "the largest and most beautiful of all Greek cities". (Source: Wikipedia)
