Syracuse and Ortigia Walking Tour
Come and visit the extraordinary city of Syracuse with our Syracuse and Ortigia Walking Tour.
Our Evolved Guide local certified tourist guide will explore with you the splendid Archaeological Park of Neapolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site: there you will see the famous Ear of Dionysus and the stone quarries (the Laotomies), the so-called Tomb of Archimedes, but also the amazing structures such as the Greek Theater and the Roman Amphitheater; you will also have the chance to see the Altar of Hieron II, the huge altar dedicated to Zeus, as large as a football stadium.
Among the most evocative experiences that Syracuse can offer to his sightseers there is certainly a walk through the historical center: our local guide will make you discover the smells, the colors and the daily life of the city. But you cannot leave the city without having seen the heart of Syracuse, the Island of Ortigia, a place that will enchant you: as soon as you cross the Umbertine bridge, you immediately immerse yourself into a world made of continuous discoveries, among the traces of many ages which have succeeded here, from the Greek to the Norman, from the Aragonese to the Baroque period.
Discover the Fonte Aretusa and the mythical story of the nymph of Artemis who, in order to escape from the love of the river Alfeo, was transformed into a fountain. It reaches the extreme tip of Ortigia, at the Maniace’s Castle, the monumental fortress built by Federico II in 1239. From the terrace of the castle you will see a breathtaking panorama that will enchant you.
