Guided Visit to Syracuse Archaeological Park
Travel to your first destination of the day in a luxury A/C minibus or comfortable minivan. The park has stood in Sicily since the 5th century BC and was later reconstructed in the 3rd century AD. Its centerpiece is the Teatro Greco, an amphitheater with a capacity of 16,000 people. Another sight worth seeing is the Latomia del Paradiso, a deep limestone quarry that provided the stones to build the historical city.
Guided Walking Tour of Ortigia
Take a walking tour with an expert guide through the stunning Ortigia Island. Ask questions about landmarks like the ancient Cathedral ‘Il Duomo’ built over the Temple of Athena, the 13th-century Maniace Castle, and the natural Arethusa fountain. Next, you will stop for lunch at an authentic Italian restaurant, with a wine tasting to get your spirits even higher!
Enjoy Free Time to Explore Noto
The last destination of your tour is one of Italy’s most scenic towns, Noto, located less than 40 km southwest of Syracuse. You have an hour to stroll in the Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the city's main street filled with historical buildings, souvenir shops, and cafes. Take the time to admire the ethereal churches and the baroque palazzi sprinkled throughout the city. End your tour with a delightful tasting of granita, a Sicilian dessert.
