When choosing a hotel, pay attention to its location. If the main purpose of your trip is sightseeing, then it makes sense to choose a hotel near the historical center and the island of Ortigia.

Jesús Cabrera/Castle of Moniace Attractions of Syracuse
Syracuse is a city literally filled with all kinds of historical and archaeological monuments. Many buildings date back to the era of the ancient Greeks. It is not surprising that many sites in Syracuse are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Syracuse annually attracts a large number of tourists eager to experience the authenticity of the Sicilian island.
Significant archaeological sites in Syracuse include the ruins Greek theater(date of construction – 5th century BC, location in the archaeological area of Neapolis); Roman amphitheater(date of construction - 1st century BC, the third largest amphitheater in Italy after the Roman and Veronese); grotto Ear of Dionysius(the time of appearance of the cave is 4th century BC); ruin Altar of Hiero, Temple of Apollo, Catacombs of St. John and some other objects. Also in Syracuse is the famous Museum of Archeology Paolo Orsi. The museum is open daily except Mondays. Opening hours: 09.00-18.00 (on Sunday – until 13.00). The entrance ticket costs 8 euros.
In Syracuse, not only archaeological but also architectural monuments deserve attention. So, while in the city, you should definitely explore the ancient street Corso Matteozzi, where the historical buildings are located and which leads to Archimedes Square with a magnificent fountain headed by a sculpture dedicated to Artemis.
Deserves special mention Cathedral Syracuse. The church was built here in the ancient period, but after the earthquake it underwent a number of restoration changes, and baroque elements appeared on the facade. The inside of the cathedral is decorated with frescoes from the 18th century. While walking around the city, be sure to pay attention to the small Church of Santa Lucia, which is shrouded in many legends.
Several palaces have also been preserved in Syracuse, representing different eras of the city’s development. For example, Vermexio Palace represents the era of the 17th century, and traces of the Renaissance and Baroque can be read in its features. Palace of Montalto was built in the 14th century, it is not surprising that the Gothic style manifested itself most clearly here. Palace Moniace- this is not so much a palace as a castle, which was built back in the 13th century and was originally a defensive structure. The castle is located on the island of Ortigia, at its southernmost tip and is spectacularly framed by sea waves at the foot.
Andrea Schaffer/Cathedral of Syracuse Beaches of Syracuse
As for the beaches, there are no beaches as such in Syracuse, and the coastline consists of steep cliffs and rocky cliffs leading into the Ionian Sea. In several places within the city you can find something resembling beaches - a few rocky shallows, but they are not particularly popular. It is better to look for beaches in the vicinity of Syracuse. So, find the nearest places for beach holiday possible in Fontane Bianca(about 15 minutes by regional train or 10 minutes by car). Fontane Bianca is a gorgeous white sandy beach and the purest transparent Ionian Sea. Fontane Bianca is a favorite swimming spot for locals.
There are also several pebble beaches south of Syracuse. They are not as picturesque as Fontane Bianca, but are quite suitable for swimming, i.e. They have a gentle entrance to the water and a calm sea off the coast. These include, in particular, beaches Onyina, Arenella, Fanuza, Terrauzza(coarse rocky bottom, swim with shoes) and some others.
Jerome Bon/Small beach in Syracuse Catania is convenient to use as a starting point for traveling around Sicily. Many airlines fly here, as well as ferries and trains from mainland Italy. However, tourists, as a rule, do not stay here for long, preferring to immediately go to numerous Sicilian resorts. Nevertheless, in our opinion, Catania should not be ignored. The city itself is of considerable interest. In addition, based in Catania, you can visit many of the attractions of Sicily. This method of organizing a trip is especially convenient for those traveling by public transport. But for those who prefer to travel by car, the ideas below may well be useful, with the only difference being that in this case you can stay not in Catania itself, but somewhere in its immediate surroundings. As for Catania, in addition to the overview of the routes, we recommend that you read the article “Where is the best place to stay in Catania”.
Let's move on to the routes. So, where can you go from Catania for one day?
Etna(Etna) is the main calling card of Sicily, and Catania is the best place to take a one-day excursion to this still not extinct volcano. There are different options.
The simplest thing you can think of is a trip around Etna on the narrow-gauge railway “Circumetnea” (Ferrovia Circumetnea, see www.circumetnea.it), which, generally speaking, can be considered as a separate attraction (there are few similar roads left in Italy). Of course, you won’t be able to get to the top of the volcano this way, but you will get an excellent opportunity to visit small but very colorful towns and villages located on the slopes of Etna. The most famous of them is Randazzo(Randazzo), a walk along which is worth spending a couple of hours. But there are others: Maletto, Adrano, Paterno’ etc. In each there is something interesting (for example, Norman castles). Just keep in mind that trains do not run often. If you don’t gallop, you can really visit a maximum of two or three towns in a day.
The Circumetnea railway station in Catania is combined with the Catania Borgo metro station and is located some distance from the city center. You can get here by city buses (see www.amt.ct.it) or by metro (the only Catan metro line has 6 stations: Borgo – Giuffrida – Italia – Galatea – Stazione F.S. – Porto). By the way, you can return back to Catania not by Circumetnea, but by Trenitalia trains from Giarre-Riposto station. This will be faster and cheaper.
Another variant - climb directly to the craters of Etna . In this case, it is more convenient to go by car, but public transport is also available. From Catania you can get to Etna in two hours by AST bus (see schedule at www.aziendasicilianatrasporti.it in the Linee e orari section; starting point is Catania, ending point is Etna). Buses depart from Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII (opposite Catania train station) and go almost to the Funivia dell'Etna funicular station (see funiviaetna.com). Various continuations are possible here. Perhaps the most interesting thing is to purchase an excursion with a guide and special equipment (this way you can go where everyone else is not allowed, but this pleasure is not cheap). The funicular will take you to a height of about 2500 m. Further - on special all-terrain buses, and then even higher - on foot. An alternative is to find a guide in Catania who will not only take you to the volcano, but will also tell you a lot of interesting things (there are, for example, but you can look for others if you wish).
Taormina(Taormina)– one of the most beautiful cities in Sicily, and one of the most popular. There are many tourists here, especially during the summer holiday season, as many come here for the day from the nearby beach resorts. However, despite the crowds (and the summer heat, if you plan to visit Sicily in the summer), Taormina is worth a visit. The place is picturesque and there are attractions: among them the Greek Theater with Etna as a decoration in the background stands out. The neighboring village of Castelmola is also worthy of attention.
It is worth paying attention to the Taormina beaches. First of all, this is the pebble beach of Isola Bella, which owes its name to the small island that is so conveniently moored here to the shore. Generally speaking, in Taormina it is quite possible to combine sightseeing with a beach holiday. In other words, if in Sicily you are primarily interested in the sea and beaches, and you consider trips around the surrounding area as additional entertainment, then instead of Catania, it makes sense to stay in Taormina. (Read about where it is better to live in Taormina.) There is one drawback: hotels here are significantly more expensive than in Catania. You can save money by staying in the nearby towns of Giardini Naxos and Letojanni. It must be said that the beaches there are at least no worse than in Taormina itself: there are both pebble and sandy ones.
You can get from Catania to Taormina by train. The drive is only 40–50 minutes. Is it true, railroad station Taormina-Giardini (common to Taormina and Giardini Naxos) is located some distance from the city center, at the foot of a cliff. Upon arrival, you will have to either take a bus or take a taxi (the walk is long and inconvenient). But buses from Catania (see www.etnatrasporti.it) arrive directly in the center of Taormina, but the ride is a little longer: about 1 hour 10 minutes.
Acireale(Acireale)- another seaside resort town. It is unlikely that it surpasses Taormina in any way, but it is also interesting to stroll through the historical center of Acireale. The most popular among tourists are the Acireale Cathedral, which resembles a castle with its bell towers, and the adjacent Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo), as well as the Basilica of St. Peter and Paul, facing the same square. There are other churches here, as well as several museums. In short, there are enough attractions for a trip of several hours.
From Catania to Acireale you can take the Trenitalia train in just 10–15 minutes. True, then you will have to walk to the city center for 20–30 minutes along not very picturesque streets. If you go by bus, the journey will take about 50 minutes (see www.etnatrasporti.it and www.aziendasicilianatrasporti.it), but this way you can get directly to Cathedral Square.
If desired, a trip to Acireale can be supplemented with a visit to the town Achikastello(Acicastello). It is best known for its Norman castle, which rises on a cliff jutting into the sea. It is convenient to get here by bus: from Acireale to Achikastello it is a 20-minute drive, and from Catania – 30 minutes (see www.aziendasicilianatrasporti.it). There is also an AMT bus between Catania and Achicatello (Linea 534, see www.amt.ct.it).
Syracuse(Siracusa), as is commonly said in such cases, is a must-see city. You can get here from Catania by rail in just over an hour. At the same time, the Syracuse train station is located within walking distance from all major attractions. Among them, I must say, there are many interesting things. This is the archaeological park of Neapolis (here, in particular, you can see the impressive size of the Greek Theater), and the early Christian catacombs of San Giovanni, and especially Ortigia - a small island connected to the mainland by two bridges (the place itself is extremely colorful and there are many attractions here ). In general, it makes sense to stay in Syracuse for a few days (more on this in more detail), especially since this city is convenient to use as a base for trips to the so-called baroque cities of the Val di Noto: Noto, Scicli, Modica, Ragusa etc. (However, if you want to visit all these cities, then ideally you should stay in one of them, for example, in Modica). But even on a one-day excursion you can see a lot in Syracuse. Just decide in advance what exactly interests you, because it’s hardly possible to do everything at once.
Caltagirone(Caltagirone), like the aforementioned Noto, Scicli, Modica and Ragusa, as well as Palazzolo Acreide, Militello in Val di Catania and Catania itself, is included in the list of Sicilian Baroque cities included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. All of them were actually rebuilt (in the late Baroque style, which is why they are called “Baroque”) after the devastating earthquake of 1693. All of them deserve attention to one degree or another. However, if we talk about one-day trips from Catania, then it is most convenient to get out either in Caltagirone or in Militello(Militello in Val di Catania). Caltagirone, whose main attraction is a staircase decorated with multi-colored majolica, is, in our opinion, more interesting. But theoretically, it is possible to create a route so as to combine visits to both of these cities within one trip.
As for transport, you can travel from Catania to Caltagirone by rail. But trains rarely run in this direction, and the journey takes almost two hours (Militello, by the way, is located on the same railway line an hour’s drive from Catania). Therefore, it makes sense to pay attention to buses (see www.etnatrasporti.it): they run more often and travel surprisingly faster - about an hour and a half to Caltagirone (a little over an hour to Militello).
All of Sicily's largest and busiest cities are located on the coast. It would seem that, Enna(Enna), located almost in the center of the island, is a wilderness, and there is nothing for tourists to do here. But! Firstly, from here - from an altitude of more than 900 meters above sea level - breathtaking views of the surrounding area open up. Secondly, there are at least two interesting sights in Enna: the Castello di Lombardia fortress, from where the best panoramic views actually open, and the Duomo, interior decoration which can surprise even seasoned travelers. In short, Enna is a great destination for a half-day trip.
It is better to go to Enna by car, although you can also get there by public transport. Moreover, at first glance it seems that this is not at all difficult if you resort to the services railways. Enna is located halfway between Catania and Palermo. From Catania it takes no more than an hour and a half to travel. But it's not that simple. The train station is located approximately 5 km from the center of Enna Alta. You can cover this distance by local bus (see www.saisautolinee.it), but they rarely run, which is very inconvenient. Walking – uphill and mostly along a picturesque road, but completely unsuitable for pedestrians – is also difficult. Fortunately, there is a bus service between Enna and Catania (see route Enna – Outlet Dittaino – Catania, about an hour and a half ride). By bus you can go directly to the upper (old) part of Enna.
When choosing a hotel or apartment in Italy in general and in Catania in particular, use not only booking sites, but also price comparison services. We recommend Roomguru.ru.
You should do the same when searching for air tickets. Pay attention, for example, to Skyscanner.ru.
Syracuse(Siracusa), the birthplace of Archimedes, is considered the first Greek colony in Sicily. Continuing my budget trip to Italy, I looked into another city in Sicily, as I was told that it hides a certain secret. And I wanted to see everything with my own eyes.
Syracuse can be reached by bus and train. As always, I traveled from . And it was on that day that there was no train I needed, so I took the bus. Ticket price is 6 euros.

My hotel in Syracuse
My friend and I came to Syracuse from Catania not only to see the sights, but also to shop and relax on the beach. Therefore, we decided to spend the night and chose an excellent hotel on the island of Ortigia. The hotel is located in an old building, which, of course, has been completely restored. The windows overlook the Ionian Sea. In the mornings they serve a sumptuous breakfast. There are plenty of restaurants nearby to suit every taste. And most importantly, the sea is nearby. We were very pleased, so I recommend it Hotel Royal Maniace >>
Greeks in Syracuse and the Temple of Apollo
When the Greeks could not get enough of their own mountainous country, when all the neighboring islands were populated, when Troy was conquered and the thirst for knowledge and discovery conquered the fear of long journeys, the Greeks landed here in Syracuse. They not only lived here far from the metropolis, great people were born here. Archimedes was one of them. And from this point of view, Syracuse is a unique place. Despite the numerous cultural layers (as in all of Sicily), it is still Greek.
But this is not enough. Syracuse presented such a riddle that no one can solve it. And to find this unique place, you need to go through the entire city from beginning to end.
The city is now located on two islands. In Sicily, and ancient city hid on the island of Ortigia (Ortygia or Ortygia, which is translated from Greek as “quail”, a bird sacred to Artemis), dedicated to Artemis, where three bridges will lead you from the mainland. It was there that the Greek Syracuse was located, the Roman and Carthaginian and Arab ones too.
Just beyond the bridge you will be greeted by the Temple of Apollo, reminding you of its glorious past. Now Syracuse is like other multicultural cities, I was especially reminded of Acre, standing at the opposite end Mediterranean Sea. And before, sacred groves of Artemis grew here, and secret rites of worship of the lunar goddess were performed here. It is believed that the wild Greek goddess was born on Ortygia.
Duomo
The Duomo square is always full of people. The most expensive restaurants are here, and life is in full swing here. But that’s not why we came to Syracuse. Let's look around a little and move on to the city's most important secret!
Papyrus in Syracuse
Having wandered through the streets, you go out to the sea, in the place where two islands meet, and you will notice papyrus from nowhere, growing in a small puddle next to the sea. It only grows here! There is one more place in the world where papyrus lives in natural conditions - Egypt. However, in Egypt, papyrus production has been brought to the level of production; it grows there on an industrial scale. Here you will see several nice bushes. Where and how did he come here? I won't give an answer to this question. Ask the sea and the birds! Or Artemis...

Traveling along the east coast of Sicily has been a long-time weakness of mine. On my way south from Messina, I often stop at Taormina, and from there I travel further south to Syracuse. I have traveled this route many times and am quite familiar with it. Now I will be happy to tell you about it.
Traveling by car
Italy has a well-developed road network. – is by no means an exception. I would even say that it is concentrated. Here, perhaps, are some of the narrowest roads I have ever seen in Italy. Here, just like on the continental part, there are toll and free roads. I categorically do not recommend driving on free roads if you have the opportunity to take a toll highway. Without exaggeration, I will say that the cost of saving a few euros can be your life. Why? Yes, because local drivers are very impudent, and on a free highway with its minimum width, if something happens, there is simply nowhere to go.
