Syracuse Ancient Greek Cultural Tour

We depart by bus with our tour leader towards Syracuse, one of the most ancient Greek colony in Sicily, the heritage of humanity and UNESCO site. Upon arrival in Syracuse, we meet with the Local Guide and visit the Archaeological Area of the 5th century BC with the Greek Theatre, the Roman Amphitheatre, the Altar of Hieron II and the Latomies of Paradise with the Ear of Dionysius. After that, we will visit the historical center of the island of Ortigia, with the Temple of Apollo, the Cathedral, the important Baroque church built on an ancient temple, and the Fountain of Arethusa with the famous papyrus plant. You will have free time for an individual walking tour to the Grand Harbour with the “Foro Italico” on Porto Grande and optional lunch in typical restaurants. We return to Taormina around 6.00 pm.
