Walking through narrow streets and historic buildings, art and craft shops, visiting art collections in buildings that are themselves artistic masterpieces such as the Palazzo Bellomo Museum, the hypogeum, which reaches Piazza Duomo to Marina, the Jewish Baths, a recent extraordinary discovery in the Giudecca district and much more. Atmosphere is the traditional Italian aperitif watching the sunset over the sea, having breakfast with almond granita and brioche, strictly hot.

In Syracuse, especially in Summer, there are numerous evening shows, easily enjoyed.
