Rent a Syracuse
When talking about Syracuse, perhaps the first image that comes to mind is that of its market: a colorful and lively place where you can taste and buy some of the best local produce, including dried and fresh fruit, cold meats, cheeses, citrus fruits and the catch of the day. After this immersion in the colors and scents of Syracuse, from the nearby port you can reach across a bridge to the island of Ortigia, the oldest part of the city in which Baroque buildings stand out alternating with Greek temples; you will be struck by the very strong light that reflects endlessly on the ubiquitous limestone, and at the same time by the gentle calm of these places. At the far end of the island of Ortigia is the medieval Maniace Castle, another unmissable stop on your visit to Syracuse. In the northern part of Syracuse, on the other hand, you can visit the archaeological park of Neapolis, which encloses a Roman amphitheater, a mammoth Greek theater, and an ancient limestone quarry, known as the Ear of Dionysus, which is distinguished by the portentous echo that can be heard there. Strolling or driving through the streets of Syracuse, there will be no shortage of opportunities to sample local products in the delightful bars, small restaurants and taverns that the whole city is teeming with.
If this is not your first time traveling in Sicily, you will know how difficult it is to move, even for short distances, through this region. In fact, the best way to get around Sicily is certainly by car, which cuts travel time by at least half, if not more when it comes to moving between small towns. And if you’re visiting Syracuse, of small enchanting places that you can’t miss there are plenty in the surrounding area: renting a car in Syracuse will allow you to get to know small gems of architecture, art and gastronomy relatively easily and quickly, devoting to them all the time they deserve. Just a 40-minute drive away you can, for example, visit Noto, a Baroque jewel that is part of the UNESCO heritage, which becomes particularly fascinating in May when, on the occasion of the so-called “Infiorata,” all its balconies are decorated with flowers of the most vibrant colors. Proceeding westward, one can then touch on the town of Marzamemi, a charming village with stone houses and a view of the sea, and that of Modica, known for its namesake chocolate with salt crystals, divided between a lower part rich in monuments and an upper, scenic part dotted with rich aristocratic palaces. North of Syracuse, however, you can visit the Priolo Salt Pans, a natural habitat for more than 200 species of birds praised by ancient poets. Renting a car in Syracuse is the best way to include as many of these magnificent pieces of history and, if you travel in the summer, even the wonderful beaches of the southeast in your Sicilian itinerary. Locauto has numerous rental offices in Sicily: discover them and customize your trip in the way that is most convenient for you!
