Amazing photos very interesting hope you saved me a slice of pizza heheh!
Have an archaeologicaltastic week Keith 👍
Cheers, Steve!
A lot of sights to capture beautiful photos. Looks like you did a lot of walking. It’s just right to refuel with Pizza and beer.
I did, Maria! A lot of pizza and beer too!
The right combo after all that walking
Ancient ruins in a modern world. I wonder if the modern world will survive as long.
Awaiting next week’s tour. 🙂
I somehow doubt it! I live near a Roman castle which is approaching its 2000th birthday, and it is still as solid as a rock!
Ah, che bedda Sicilia mia! Tanti grazzi, caru Keith. Era bonu per esse torna in casa.
Ah, this is my beautiful Sicily. Many thanks, dear Keith. It was good to be home again.
Grazie Nancy! La Sicilia è così bella. Altre foto la prossima settimana!
The best have yet to come!
And I can’t wait!
Gorgeous photos, Keith!!

I’m so pleased you like them, David.
stunning, both the stone and nature
Thanks, Beth. It was fascinating.
Wonderful photos! The light reflection off the sky gives a vibrant feel to the photos. The image in the cave is spectacular.
P. S. The pizza looks scrumptious!!
Great gallery Keith. I am enjoying your shares!
Thank you so much, Suzette. The cave was amazing, it was cool and very echoey (not sure that’s a word!) There’s nothing like enjoying a pizza in Italy!
You are a great photographer! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Patricia, it’s very photogenic which makes photography much easier!
Beautiful shots and yes I’m hungry for the pizza and the beer. Looks delicious.
Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂
It was, there’s nothing like a Pizza Margherita and a glass of Peroni!
Thank you for taking us along on your trip, it’s all fabulous.
The pleasure’s mine, I can assure you!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS!!! My family’s hometown, and I just found out recently I have two cousins family’s are still there & they live right next door to each other!!!

Thank you again… you’re duh best and be safe and have fun and thank you for the pictures this is the greatest Post ever I’ve ever seen! HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY FRIEND! YOU’RE DUH BEST!!! HUGS
What an incredible coincidence! Syracuse, old and new, was amazing, I’d happily live there! Apparently, it once rivalled Athens as the greatest city of the Greek world.
Marie, I can’t thank you enough for your kind words
BE HAPPY, BE SAFE, BE WELL AND MOST OF ALL MY FRIEND HAVE FUN! JUST YELL IN THE STREET DOLLY & NELLY SAYS HELLO!!!! HAHAHAHA HAVE FUN & BE SAFE BIG GUY! OH HOW I WISH I WAS WITH YA!!!! HUGSSSSSSSSS
wonderful photos of Syracuse – Archaeological Park. You had a wonderful vacation!
Happy WW ☺
I did indeed, every day was amazing. Thanks so much, Carmen.
Beautiful pics! The pizza made me really hungry :))
Just thinking about it makes me hungry! Cheers, Shiju.
Amazing! Seeing the size of those cave places with the little person is impressive. The town is also fascinating. Such a different life and culture and to live among all that history.
Ancient and modern. It’s amazing!
Fabulous places! Thank you for sharing these beautiful images!
Happy WW!
It certainly was, thank you Suzana.
Superbe fotografii. Frumoasa plimbare!
Era! Grazie, Iona.
Great photos, as always. Syracuse has such a storied history, including Greek, Roman, and Italian periods.
And yes, your pizza photo does make me hungry 🙂
It was an ‘optional tour’ and I’m so glad I decided to tag along. As I said to Marie, Syracuse once rivalled Athens as the greatest city of the Greek world. I need a pizza – now!
Beautiful place and wonderful photos Keith. Thank you for sharing
Thank you, Sadje.I was concerned there might have been too many photos!
You’re welcome! I really e seeing this historical place.
This is such an amazing tour. So very beautiful. I am enjoying every step of it. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks so much. One week to go!
We had such a lovely time there when the kids were little. Just a gorgeous town, as your photos reflect.
Really, that’s great, I adored it. Thanks, Lydia.
Fantastic tour, Keith! Thank you for sharing these amazing sights. Going to Taormina next? 🙂
How did you know that? Indeed we are, Savoka and Forta d’Agro too! Thanks for joining me, Debbie.
You mentioned The Godfather. 🙂 We were there in 2018. Neither Savoka nor Forta d’Agro were on our tour, though, so I’m looking forward to that travelogue.
You are an amazing photographer, Keith.
Thank you for sharing these gorgeous photos.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
That’s really kind of you, thanks so much.
What a wonderful place. I would love to go there and explore the caves and ruins.

It’s wonderful, so much to see!
