Top neighbourhoods in Syracuse

A historic waterfront with a stone bridge, illuminated buildings, and a calm water body.

Ortigia

Ortigia's ancient limestone streets tell 2,700 years of Mediterranean stories through every weathered stone. Greek temple ruins stand beside a stunning Baroque cathedral, while the 13th-century Castello Maniace guards this tiny island's tip. The mystical Fonte Aretusa freshwater spring creates a papyrus grove right beside the crystal-clear Ionian Sea. Waterfront trattorias serve fresh seafood and Sicilian classics while you watch fishing boats bobbing at sunset. The compact 1km island is best explored on foot through narrow medieval lanes. Historic palazzos converted to boutique hotels offer authentic stays with sea views from wrought-iron balconies.

See properties

Ancient ruins with a large amphitheater surrounded by trees.

Neapolis

Step back in time at Syracuse's Neapolis, where ancient Greek and Roman civilisations come alive through remarkable ruins. The Greek Theatre carved into limestone hills offers stunning harbour views, while the Roman Amphitheatre reveals gladiatorial heritage. Don't miss the Ear of Dionysius cave where whispers magically amplify, or the Paradise Quarry gardens blooming with Mediterranean flora. Getting around requires walking on uneven ancient paths, with limited bus service connecting to Syracuse centre. Pack a lunch or visit the small café near the entrance since dining options are minimal. The archaeological park closes at sunset, so plan your visit during daylight hours to fully experience this extraordinary outdoor museum.

A bridge over a turquoise waterfront with boats docked, surrounded by historic buildings.

Santa Lucia

Santa Lucia delivers an epic history lesson with every step through its honey-colored streets. The ancient area showcases Greek ruins, the legendary Tomb of Archimedes, and the stunning Church of Santa Lucia alla Badia with its soaring dome. Colourful fishing boats bob in Porto Piccolo while the Ionian Sea provides a sparkling backdrop to centuries of Mediterranean heritage. Traditional Sicilian trattorias serve fresh seafood along the waterfront promenade. Stone-walled boutique guesthouses and converted palazzo B&Bs make perfect bases for exploring this walkable historic quarter. The limited public buses mean you'll mostly discover Santa Lucia's treasures on foot, which is exactly how this ancient place should be experienced.

An aerial view of a coastal city with a prominent fortified structure and a densely built urban area in the background.

Grottasanta

The Grottasanta neighbourhood offers attractions, such as Pista Ciclabile Siracusa and Ionian Sea.

Tiche

Tiche's ancient Greek quarter lets you walk right through history with every step. The Greek Theatre carved into limestone hosts summer performances under starlit skies, while the Temple of Apollo frames perfect Mediterranean sunsets. Explore the Archaeological Park of Neapolis with its mysterious Ear of Dionysius cave, known for its perfect acoustics and surrounded by olive groves. Traditional tavernas serve fresh seafood and arancini in family-run establishments with prices that won't break the bank. Historic guesthouses in converted ancient buildings offer authentic stays with Sicilian breakfasts included. Walking remains the primary way to get around, though public buses connect to central Syracuse when your feet need a rest.

Wow. We just spent 3 nights at Giuggiulena Villa and wish we had stayed here for our whole trip. Almost want to keep it a secret…! It’s a family-run, 8 room boutique hotel by the sea.

Great location in the old town and wonderful little hotel. Rooms were v clean and comfortable. The hotel is situated on a little pedestrianised lane containing numerous shops and restaurants. We were recommended a fish restaurant a few meters away and it was excellent. Staff there v helpful in choosing wines to match our food. The hotel staff could not have been more helpful. They arranged for car parking and notifying authorities about waiving fees for entering old town.

Calapetra Resort

Right on the beech which is sandy and small . The staff are fab and it has a great well kept garden and jacuzzi. There are only six rooms so it is very personel and more like an upmarket B and B rather than a hotel. As it only has breakfast. Here's the problem. You need a car and driving in Scicily is nuts. The local restaurant s are at best average and not many. You need to spread your wings to find restaurants and watch out for opening times.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Syracuse

For travellers interested in exploring the city's rich history and culture, including its historical monuments, archaeological sites, cathedrals, ruins, and charming cafes, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is great value for money. This period allows for a thorough exploration of the key landmarks and cultural attractions that make Syracuse a must-visit destination.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Syracuse on Hotels.com, begin by exploring the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Deals sections, where you may find attractive rates for hotels as your travel date approaches.

Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on various factors, such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a more favourable rate for your stay in a Syracuse hotel. If you're in search of distinctive experiences, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and sometimes better value.
