What to do and see in Syracuse, Sicily: The Best Outdoor Activities

May 29, 2021 Terina Blouin

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.

Riding horses is a surprising experience. Salvos horses are so cleaver, skilful and well trained that is really easy to ride and create a connection with them. We enjoyed a long ride through the most tipical sicilian nature with astonishing landscapes. Of course Salvo prepared us with a complete introduction course and gave us a lot of suggestion during the ride. He is a really professional horseman. Thanks for the amazing experience
