Overview of your Catania tour

I grown up in this area, so I know a lot of stories and secrets. . . Come with me to discover Syracuse! This city walking tour will allow you to get in touch with the city which excelled together with Athens in power and wealth: Siracusa (Syracuse). We will relive the days of this ancient colony during the visit to the archaeological park Neapolis where, among its famous Greek theater, the Ara di Ierone II (Altar of Hieron II), the Latomia del Paradiso (Latomie of Paradise), the Roman amphitheater and the impressive Orecchio di Dioniso (Ear of Dionysus), we'll dive into a timeless place, firm in history. White stone alleys will accompany us along the route to Ortigia, where we will visit Apollo's Temple, the oldest Greek temple in Sicily, the Cathedral, built over an ancient temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, the Fonte Arestusa (Fountain of Arethusa) and all the major monuments of the area.
