Private Walking Tour of Ortigia

This tour offers an extraordinary opportunity to explore the enchanting island of Ortigia, located in the heart of Syracuse and rich in history and culture.

This adventure begins with a visit to the Temple of Apollo, the oldest Greek temple in Sicily, dating back to the 6th century B.C., and continues with the discovery of the Church of San Filippo Apostolo alla Giudecca, known for its crypt and historic well.

Piazza Archimede is the next point of interest, where the Fountain of Diana tells the legend of the Nymph Arethusa. The majestic cathedral in Piazza Duomo is a superb example of Sicilian Baroque architecture.

The tour concludes with a visit to the Arethusa Fountain, a legendary site where fresh water gushes from the sea, symbolizing the love between Arethusa and Alphaeus.
