Sybaris was a city of Magna Graecia on the Ionian Sea, overlooking the Gulf of Taranto.

Sybaris was an ancient Greek colony  known as “Achaean,” and one of the oldest Greek settlements in southern Italy.

The fame of the wealth and lifestyle of the Sybarites had spread all over the old greek world.

The archaeological remains of ancient cities are now kept in the National Archaeological Museum and the site of Sybaris is now part of the Archaeological Park of Sybaris.
