What you can expect

Siracusa is a beautiful mix of Greek, Roman, Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque Art just waiting to be explored. It is steeped in rich legends and history like a true Greek drama should be! First of all you will visit the famous archaeological area, where our expert guide will bring all this to life. Imagine the representation of the tragedies in the largest Greek theatre in Sicily and then poke your head in the cave called Dionysius’ Ear, where every prisoner’s whisper was brought to the surface by its acoustics, and imagine the magnificence of this Tyrant, then take a look at the Altar of Hiero II. After that, we will visit the bustling little centre, which is placed on the island of Ortigia. Enjoying the cobbled streets of the picturesque old town and the majestic cathedral built on layers of history, and lets not forget the amazing Caravaggio painting of the murder of Santa Lucia All without missing the town's elegant shops and cafes.
