Siracusa (Sicily) ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Siracusa (Sicily)
What our students said about Siracusa (Sicily)
It is a very nice city with a lot of sightseeing opportunities. For clubs and shopping maybe someone would like to have another place to stay, but there are far too many good restaurants to check out, a good amount of nice bars, and of course the historical places. As it's a city close to the sea you can also enjoy the beach and boat tours etcetera. People were all very nice and the city felt very safe.
Siracusa is a pretty seaside town in south-eastern Sicily with a guarantee of good weather. The old town of Ortigia with its narrow streets is bustling with life. There are numerous shops, restaurants and bars, but also historical sights. In Siracusa, there are Greek and Roman ruins and the famous "Ear of Dionysus" to discover.
If it weren't for the rubbish and the dog poo everywhere, it would be a dream! Typical Italian! At lunchtime it's dead, in the evening it's a wonderful soundscape like in a film! Delicious, affordable food, also to go, bars, restaurants in masses, both for locals and tourists. The surrounding area is also very inviting!
Siracusa has a rich history and there are many historical monuments to visit, for example from Greek and Roman times. Unfortunately it is very noisy and dangerous due to the heavy traffic. It is common not to adhere to traffic rules and to disregard safety regulations.
If you like warm weather and beach its a good place to go. Ortigia had a lot of food and things to do and see.
A wonderful city- but Ortigia is the place to experience, rather than Syracuse!
Siracusa and Ortigia are always worth a visit.
It wouldn’t be a city I’d return to.
Beautiful, historical, and charming

I really enjoyed the lessons in a very small group. Our teacher was great and took good care of us. Can only recommend the school. I also thought the location was great.

Very nice people, enthusiastic teacher and a very good reception/organiser. The school is next to the museum and archeological area and offers free tickets to one of these (catacombs). The building is super nice and the large garden is heaven. Syracuse is a very nice city to stay.

The school is located in a beautiful villa, nestled in a large park. The classrooms are well equipped and there is even a school kitchen for the weekly cooking classes. The organisation worked out great.
Small, well-organised language school
