    Information 
    for this port is not yet available from Silversea, but the following 
    information is from 
    
    http://www.bestofsicily.com/siracUSA.htm. 
      Located near the southeastern corner of 
    Sicily on the Ionian coast, SiracUSA (Syracuse) is built on an ancient Greek 
    settlement founded by Corinthians in 734 BC. Some of the ancient sights to 
    see in Syracuse are located in Ortegia, which is the medieval city's 
    historic center. Ortegia is reached via the Ponte Nuovo, or "New Bridge." 
    However, most of the more spectacular of the ancient landmarks are on the 
    Teminite Hill, on the city's
     periphery, 
    in an archeological park near Viale Teracati and Via G. Emanuele Rizzo. 
    Greek and Roman structures are ubiquitous in Syracuse.  
       SiracUSA has a Greek amphitheatre carved out of 
    the rock, and also a Roman one, both well preserved. 
   There are beaches nearby, and there's 
    no shortage of good restaurants in Syracuse; it is suggested that you choose 
    one of the charming pizzerias or seafood restaurants. The pasta dishes with 
    mussels and urchins are especially tasty but more available in Spring and 
    Fall. |
