Things to do near Syracuse, Sicily

These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Syracuse, along with a brief description:

♦ Neapolis

Syracuse is home to Neapolis Archaeological Park, one of the most historically significant archaeological sites in the world. In this park, you will discover the remains of a 5th century Greek Theatre (which is still in use today), Roman Amphitheater, and a limestone quarry where you can admire some aromatic lemon and orange trees. Neapolis is also home to the Ear of Dionysius (see below) and some former burial chambers. Guided tours are available so you can make the most of your trip! If you already have a good understanding of Greek and Roman history, you can also opt to explore on your own.

♦ Ear of Dionysius

Located within Neapolis Archaeological Park, the Ear of Dionysius is an incredible limestone cave famous for its incredible acoustics that travel as high up as 72 feet!
