The Sicilian city of Syracuse may now be part of Italy, but it may be best known as one of the most powerful cities of ancient Greece. Cicero once described the city as the greatest and most beautiful in the ancient Greek empire. Much of the history of this 2,700-year-old city, also known by its Italian name of Siracusa, still stands today. Most of the cheapest Syracuse hotels are situated east of its train station, while several bed and breakfasts are located east of one of the city's most famous landmarks, its magnificent Apollo Temple. A Greek theatre, a Roman amphitheatre, numerous burial caves and the ancient Latomia del Paradiso stone quarries can all be found in Syracuse's ancient city, named Neapolis. However, the city's oldest quarter is located on an island called Ortygia, whose most famous landmark is the Aretus Fountain where authors and poets have sought inspiration for centuries. The nightclubs along Alfeo promenade reveal the city's modern side, and many of their dance floors are placed directly on the beach. Foro Italica promenade is an ideal place to relax and stroll the next day.
