Top neighbourhoods in Syracuse

The Roman amphitheatre of Syracuse is one of the best preserved structures in the city of Syracuse, Sicily, from the early Imperial period. Between the arch and the amphitheatre, there was a monumental fountain, fed by a large cistern which has not yet been identified. A separate cistern provided water to the amphitheatre itself - it is preserved under the nearby church of San Nicola.

Neapolis

Step back in time at Syracuse's Neapolis, where ancient Greek and Roman civilisations come alive through remarkable ruins. The Greek Theatre carved into limestone hills offers stunning harbour views, while the Roman Amphitheatre reveals gladiatorial heritage. Don't miss the Ear of Dionysius cave where whispers magically amplify, or the Paradise Quarry gardens blooming with Mediterranean flora. Getting around requires walking on uneven ancient paths, with limited bus service connecting to Syracuse centre. Pack a lunch or visit the small café near the entrance since dining options are minimal. The archaeological park closes at sunset, so plan your visit during daylight hours to fully experience this extraordinary outdoor museum.

Piazza del duomo - Siracusa

Ortigia

Ortigia's ancient limestone streets tell 2,700 years of Mediterranean stories through every weathered stone. Greek temple ruins stand beside a stunning Baroque cathedral, while the 13th-century Castello Maniace guards this tiny island's tip. The mystical Fonte Aretusa freshwater spring creates a papyrus grove right beside the crystal-clear Ionian Sea. Waterfront trattorias serve fresh seafood and Sicilian classics while you watch fishing boats bobbing at sunset. The compact 1km island is best explored on foot through narrow medieval lanes. Historic palazzos converted to boutique hotels offer authentic stays with sea views from wrought-iron balconies.

Epipoli

Epipoli takes you on a journey through time with its ancient Greek ruins sprawled across a limestone plateau. Wander among the massive Euryalus Fortress walls, peek into the acoustically fascinating Dionysus' Ear cave, and explore scattered theatre remnants while wildflowers dance between weathered stones. Panoramic views showcase Syracuse's stunning coastline against the azure Ionian Sea. Bring water and snacks as dining options are limited to occasional food trucks. The archaeological park is best reached by private vehicle or organised tours due to limited public transport. While there's no lodging in Epipoli itself, Syracuse's Ortigia district offers plenty of options just a short drive away.

The Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Lacrime was erected in memory of the miraculous lacrimation of the effigy depicting the Immaculate Heart of Mary, placed to the bedside of the spouses Lannuso at their humble home in Via degli Orti in Syracuse, in 1953.

Santa Lucia

Santa Lucia delivers an epic history lesson with every step through its honey-colored streets. The ancient area showcases Greek ruins, the legendary Tomb of Archimedes, and the stunning Church of Santa Lucia alla Badia with its soaring dome. Colourful fishing boats bob in Porto Piccolo while the Ionian Sea provides a sparkling backdrop to centuries of Mediterranean heritage. Traditional Sicilian trattorias serve fresh seafood along the waterfront promenade. Stone-walled boutique guesthouses and converted palazzo B&Bs make perfect bases for exploring this walkable historic quarter. The limited public buses mean you'll mostly discover Santa Lucia's treasures on foot, which is exactly how this ancient place should be experienced.

Tiche

Tiche's ancient Greek quarter lets you walk right through history with every step. The Greek Theatre carved into limestone hosts summer performances under starlit skies, while the Temple of Apollo frames perfect Mediterranean sunsets. Explore the Archaeological Park of Neapolis with its mysterious Ear of Dionysius cave, known for its perfect acoustics and surrounded by olive groves. Traditional tavernas serve fresh seafood and arancini in family-run establishments with prices that won't break the bank. Historic guesthouses in converted ancient buildings offer authentic stays with Sicilian breakfasts included. Walking remains the primary way to get around, though public buses connect to central Syracuse when your feet need a rest.
