Siracusa, Sicily

Without much planning, we took a bus to Siracusa to meet up Vincenzo and Elisa.
Wanted to go Siracusa since the second week in Sicily but seems like can't be arranged and I do not want to go alone.
But finally, in my last weekend here, I have been to Siracusa.

This town is very peaceful. I would say it's better than catania.
We visited few places together like Ear of Dionysius (Orecchio di Dionisio), Greek Theatre & Roman Theatre.

Ear of Dionysius



The big difference between Greek and Roman Theatre is the shape. Greek Theatre is halved- circle whereas, Roman is the fulled-circle which like Colossuem.

After the walking at the archeology sites, we went to Ortigia (a small island) to take a walk. It was very quiet, along the sea. Then, we reached a restaurant called long night (lungo notte) which is facing the sea. We had good seafood and watching the sun set...

The trip is simple but wonderful. Beautiful sea and it was really Romantic. Now i know why people saying Sicily is a great place for honeymoon. :) With this natural environment, people feel romantic, no stress and calm in mind.

*Specially thanks to Vincenzo and Elisa*
