Full description
This tour from Catania takes you to the historic city of Syracuse, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important cultural destinations in Sicily. Founded by Corinthian colonists in 735 BC, Syracuse once rivaled Athens in power and influence, leaving behind an extraordinary archaeological and historical heritage.
After pickup at your accommodation, you will travel to Syracuse to begin an independent visit of the Neapolis Archaeological Park. This remarkable site features some of the finest examples of ancient Greek and Roman architecture, including the Greek Theatre, one of the best preserved in the ancient world, the Roman Amphitheatre and the Latomia del Paradiso, a former stone quarry known for its impressive acoustics and dramatic scenery.
Following the archaeological visit, enjoy free time to stroll through the streets of Ortygia Island, the historic heart of Syracuse. Surrounded by the sea, Ortygia offers a unique blend of ancient ruins, elegant squares and charming alleyways, allowing you to explore the city at your own pace.
In the afternoon, relax on the return drive back to Catania after a full day immersed in history and culture.
