Full Day Sicilian Experience – At Siracusa

The Beautiful City of Siracuse

This tour takes you to the the beautiful town of Syracuse in the southern part of the Island – enjoy a very special introduction to the Sicilian coastline enroute.

The  ninety minute leisurely drive will take you  down the eastern coastline of Sicily passing the “Piana of Catania“, the coast line of the Ionic sea and Iblei mountains, arriving in Siracusa, built on an ancient Greek settlement founded by Corinthians in 734 BC. More than any other modern city in Sicily, Syracuse manifests a visible continuity from its ancient Greek past, both historical and mythological.

You till  visit the archaeological area of Neapolis with is Greek theatre, the Roman amphitheatre and Latomia del Paradiso (with its Dionysius Hear) and the “Ara of Hyeron”. You will arrive at the ‘Ortigia Island’, the heart of the city and you will stroll along the ancient narrow streets, which still keep the Medieval influence, before arriving at the Duomo square, one of the city highlights. You will visit the Cathedral, built above a Greek Temple, which holds more than 2.500 years of history. You will also  take in one of the more charming spots of Ortigia, the “Arethusa fountain” with its Papyrus plants, overlooking the

Ionic sea. Strolling along narrow streets, you  move on to the old quarter of Siracusa known as Giudecca, with some important buildings of the late medieval period, like Palazzo Lanza and Montalto with their typical Chiaramonte style.  You will also have the chance to stroll the open Sicilian local market situated in the heart of Ortigia, full of vegetables, fish and local products.

You will then, at your convenience make our way to a local Sicilian restaurant to taste several local dishes. After this break for lunch, we may have a little time to enjoy the splendid shopping area before we return to your hotel.
