10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Syracuse That You Shouldn't Miss
Once one of ancient Greece’s most important cities, today Syracuse (Siracusa in Italian) is a lively town of about 125,000 on Sicily’s southeast coast. The city overflows with amazing remnants from its long history. Romans, Vandals and Normans are but a few of those who ruled here after the Greeks. In Syracuse’s harbor, Ortygia Island (also called Città Vecchia or Old City) is the site of many of the main attractions, including the seventh-century cathedral and the Fountain of Arethusa.

We walked past this church one day and spotted a notice (in Italian) saying they do guided tours of the underground levels. went along the next day, and were really impressed. It's free (just leave a donation) and you see 3 levels including a Jewish Mikvah at the bottom. Fascinating if you like subterranean sights (Or sites..).

5.0 based on 133 reviews
Important: visits and tastings are only by booking in advance. The Pupillo Farm, founded in 1908, occupies a large part of the land which once constituted the fief of Targia, famous not only for the medieval Solacium castle but also for the fertile soils which give a unique taste and scent to a variety of products: wines, olive oil, fruits and vegetables. The courtyard in front of the castle, the cozy and elegant interior court, the old millstone and the historic garden can be visited in conjunction with a wine tasting.

We really enjoyed our visit here. Sebastiano was friendly and very informative. He gave us a very interesting talk about the history of the castle and gardens, before the tasting of 3 wines with pairings of food for each one. We arranged the visit ourselves and had taxi there and back from Siracusa for 50 euros . All in all good value and enjoyable tour.

This is a spectacular wide open piazza with lots happening, we were lucky it was Epiphany and they had drummers and flag twirlers in the square, The surrounding buildings especially the Duomo are breathtaking. Sometimes quiet often busy you can sit and drink a coffee and watch the world go by.
