Explore Syracuse's Greek Ruins and Ortygia
Meet your guide at the Eurialo Castle and start the tour. Ordered by Dionysius the Elder, this castle was built on the most vulnerable part of the Epipole area. It represented the most important fortification of Syracuse until the Roman siege and remains a beautiful representation of Greek architecture. The complex defence structures of the castle will be the starting point of our tour.
Proceed to the Neapolis Archaeological Park to visit the Greek theatre, the Greek stone-quarries, the altar of Hieron II, and the Roman Amphitheater, while your Sicily tour guide and archaeologist explains their historical importance.
Visit the island of Ortygia, which houses exceptional Greek, Roman, and Late Antiquity monuments.
Explore the Greek Temples of Apollo, the Cathedral/Temple of Athena, and the Swabian Maniace Castle, among other fascinating sites.
That will conclude your tour.
