Your adventure will begin with a glimpse of the Neapolis Archaeological Area, an open-air museum that holds thousands of years of Syracuse's secrets.
Starting at the striking Largo Anfiteatro, you will stroll inside the park and explore the ancient Latomie del Paradiso, the Cave of the Cordari, and the majestic Greek Theatre, the symbol of the Neapolis Park and all of Syracuse. You'll admire the magnificence of the Cave of the Nymphaeum and the Altar of Hieron before reaching the imposing Roman Amphitheatre, where gladiator fights and plays by the classics took place.
From here-independently-you'll venture to the enchanting island of Ortigia, the beating heart of Syracuse's civilisation, where art and culture come together in unique harmony. Your Walking Tour of Ortigia will begin at the Temple of Apollo, dating back to the 6th century B.C., and will take you to discover the historic Church of San Filippo Apostolo, Piazza Archimede and Piazza Duomo and the Cathedral.
You will end your tour by reaching the legendary Arethusa Spring, linked to a romantic love storey between Arethusa and Alphaeus, a freshwater spring just a few steps from the sea.
