What's great about Syracuse cruises?

You can expect ancient ruins left, right and centre at the historic port city of Syracuse, on the Ionian coast of Sicily. This place is peppered with Greek throwbacks. Highlights include the Archaeological Park of Neapolis, which shows off a second-century Roman amphitheatre where gladiators once fought for glory. Other must-see parts of Syracuse include labyrinth-like Ortigia Island, Syracuse's historic centre that's reached via footbridges from the mainland. And in between sightseeing, soak up those all-important Mediterranean vibes with a pause at a pavement café for a 'caffe affogato' – espresso poured over ice-cream.
