Overview
Depart from Catania and reach Syracuse, the city that was one of the most powerful and richest in Magna Graecia. Here you can visit Ortigia, the island that forms the historic center of the city, connected to the mainland by two bridges. With an expert guide, you can stroll through the narrow streets that wind between ancient palaces and baroque churches, and discover the monuments that bear witness to the glorious past of Syracuse. Among these are the Temple of Apollo, the oldest Doric temple in Sicily, the Cathedral, built on the ruins of a temple dedicated to Athena and enriched by Byzantine, Norman and Baroque elements, the Arethusa Fountain, linked to the legend of Alpheus and Arethusa and surrounded by papyrus plants, and the Castello Maniace, a medieval fortress that dominates the port. The tour includes transfer in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, pickup and drop-off at your accommodation in Catania, and an expert guide who will accompany you during the visits.
