This beautiful city was founded in 734 B.C. and it quickly became one of the most powerful and rich cities of Greek society. The first stop is the Neapolis Archeological park, one of the most important archeological areas of Sicily, which holds an immense amount of archaeological remains, including the Greek Theatre, considered the largest theatre of the ancient world; the Paradise Quarry, and the Roman amphitheater, created for attending the gladiatorial games. Then head the island of Ortigia, the heart and soul of Syracuse.
