arethusafountainortigiaisland.jpg

Arethusa is the very symbol of the ancient Greek Syracuse like Saint Lucia is for the modern city. A profile of a beautiful young girl can be seen on the ancient greek coins, work of Évainète. In this picture we see the source of fresh water that gave birth to the legend of Alpheus and Arethusa. It is just the right place to remember the legend, while taking somes pictures.
