Study on the Mediterranean.

The Italian island of Sicily is the largest in the Mediterranean, with idyllic climate, notable history, welcoming people, and beautiful terrain including Italy’s largest volcano, Mount Etna. The 2,700 year-old city of Syracuse (Siracusa in Italian) is a stunning seaside city on the southeastern coast of Sicily that was once a major Mediterranean power. Founded by Ancient Greeks, Syracuse was often described as “the greatest Greek city and the most beautiful of them all.” Ancient Greek structures and ruins dot the city and its surrounding region, in particular the district of Ortigia, which is the historic and cultural heart of the city.
