This was the original freshwater spring that made the island a desirable place for settlement when the Greeks arrived in the eighth century BC from Corinth.
The fountain is named after a mythological nymph Arethusa escaping god Alpheus who fell in love with her. She was turned into a fountain by Artemis.
Very nice view from this point and afterwards you can get lost in the many tight streets leading to Piazza Duomo.
Interesting but don't miss out on those old trees near by the fonte. They are more impressive!
Beautifully decorated , it captivates you with its flora and fauna.
Lovely view from here!
Very romantic !!
Get a granita alla gelsi cherry ... And enjoy the view
