Anyone heading to property in Italy‘s islands before the end of June has the opportunity to indulge in a classical pastime.

That is because two plays are being staged alternately at the open-air theatre in Syracuse.

An ideal option for anyone planning to spend time in property in Sicily’s easterly coastal region, the plays are alternating day by day until June 20th, the island’s tourism authority asserts.

"The ancient drama is taken back to its natural space," the organisation comments.

"The National Institute of Drama has kept the tradition of the classical revivals play at the Greek theatre in Syracuse since 1914."

For this season, people staying in property in Sicily can choose between Aiace by Sophocles, or Fedra by Euripides.

People visiting property in Italy‘s eastern coastal region can land at the airport in Catania, from where a bus link to Syracuse can be picked up for just a few euros.
