ERYTHEIA/GADES/CADIZ

SICILY





ORTYGIA




 One of the main attractions in visiting this area is the island of Ortygia, which is connected to the mainland city of Syracuse by means of 3 bridges.

The remains of the Temple of Apollo are sited in the Piazza Pancali; this is the oldest Greek temple in Sicily, built around 565 BC.

The cathedral in the nearby Piazza Duomo is uniquely made up of the original walls of a 5th-century
BC Greek temple known as the Athenaion and near the sea, along Via Capodieci, there is the mythical Spring of Arethusa.

Several hours are required to explore the island fully.
