Das Eigentum — Marea Sicula
Marea Sicula is a no-frills three-star in Ortigia's old town, with a rooftop terrace looking straight at the cathedral square. The lobby is small, tiled and functional, with a front desk that hands over keys and a basic map. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, central base and don't need hotel extras.
Chroniken von Siracusa
Syracuse was founded by Corinthian Greeks in 733 BC and became the most powerful city in the ancient Greek world, rivalling Athens. Its Neapolis archaeological park contains one of the largest Greek theatres still in use, and the Ear of Dionysius limestone quarry. Ortigia, the historic island core, layers a Norman cathedral over a 5th-century BC Temple of Athena. After centuries of Roman, Byzantine and Spanish rule, the city is now a UNESCO World Heritage site and a quiet, cultured counterpoint to over-touristed Taormina.
