Reviews
For newcomers exploring Sicily for the first time, as well as for returning visitors, Jeremy Dummett's Syracuse, City of Legends is a welcome travelling companion whose enthusiasm is catching. Dummett offers a rich trove of information about its deep past, which he helpfully links to the places that can be visited today, including the more intimate places off the beaten path. -- Judith Harris, author of Pompeii Awakened
At last Syracuse is receiving the attention it deserves. Congratulations to Jeremy Dummett for his celebration of this Sicilian gem. Don't leave for Sicily without this guide. -- Jordan Lancaster, author of In the Shadow of Vesuvius: A Cultural History of Naples
