Syracuse is located in the southeast corner of the island of Sicily, right by the Gulf of Syracuse next to the Ionian Sea. The city was founded by Ancient Greek Corinthians and Teneans and became a very powerful city-state.
Most travelers heading from the west to the Northeast have passed through Syracuse, New York, at some point. Four major interstatesâ90, 690, 481 and 81âmerge in or near this easternmost Finger Lakes city. Yet locals and return visitors know that Syracuse is a destination in its own right, with natural beauty, cool museums, great nightlife and an enormous mall (the sixth largest in the U.S., to be precise). Syracuse is also the home of The Great New York State Fair, held nearly every year since 1841.
