Overview

Depart from the heart of Ortigia and let yourself be guided on a fascinating tuk tuk tour through history, myth and unique landscapes. During the first part of the experience, you will take a pleasant panoramic tour of the island of Ortigia, admiring the main monuments, stopping at the suggestive Fonte Aretusa, where among ancient legends and spontaneous papyruses you can breathe the most authentic soul of the city.

Continuing towards the Syracuse countryside, you will reach the extraordinary Source of the Ciane River, one of the few places in Europe where papyrus grows in its natural state. Here, amidst peaceful shores and lush vegetation, you will discover the thousand-year history of this symbolic plant, linked to Greek myths and local traditions.

A relaxing and original experience, perfect for those who want to experience Syracuse from a different perspective, between pristine nature and timeless tales — all comfortably on board a tuk tuk.
