Every spring, the Greek Theatre of Syracuse comes back to life with the classical performances staged by the INDA Foundation. For anyone visiting Syracuse between May and June, watching a show here is one of the city’s most special experiences: the ancient theatre, the evening light and the great works of the Greek tradition come together in a setting that’s hard to forget. 2027 marks the 62nd season of classical performances.

Our Tip
During the classical performance season, Syracuse is particularly busy.
If you’ve already chosen your show, we recommend checking INDA ticket availability first, then planning your stay. This way you can calmly choose the best date and build a few days around the show, between Ortigia, the sea and the city.
A Stay Between Sea and Theatre
Il Balcone sul Mare is on the Syracuse seafront, directly on the Rossana Maiorca cycle path and just minutes from the Greek Theatre. Send us your dates and we’ll reply personally with availability and a quote.
