The events that
define the year.
Two events, each worth the trip on its own: the world's oldest classical theatre festival still in operation, and the most spectacular flower carpet in the Mediterranean.

the event season.
Spring and summer in Siracusa are marked by events that draw visitors from across Europe. From PhotoGuest, you're in the right place to experience them all.
Classical
Performances
The oldest theatre festival in the world still in operation. Every summer, from May to July, the Greek Theatre of Siracusa hosts Greek tragedies and comedies staged by the National Institute of Ancient Drama (INDA).
