Syracuse is an Italian city on the eastern coast of Sicily and the capital of the province of Syracuse. Once described by Cicero as "the greatest Greek city and the most beautiful of them all." Syracuse today has about 125,000 habitants and numerous attractions for the visitor interested in historical sites (such as the Ear of Dionysius). The city welcomes thousands of tourists on Syracuse vacations all year long, which is why they have developed a huge lodging infrastructure which includes accommodations such as Syracuse vacation rentals, hotels, Syracuse holiday rentals, vacation homes and Bed & Breakfasts. A process of recovering and restoring the historical centre has been ongoing since the 1990s. Nearby places of note include Catania, Noto, Modica and Ragusa.
