Overview

We meet in front of the Apollo temple to dive immediately into a new dimension when Syracuse was the most powerful colony in Sicily and second only to Athens in the Mediterranean, the Pentapolis Syracuse (the five cities), land of democracy, tyranny, and anarchy.
In the historical center of Ortygia, every corner hides a maze of history and eternity.

We will guide you overground through the narrow streets and alleys to share the knowledge and the charm of a city that has changed in its shape but still keeps its most authentic Greek soul.
We will guide you underground to show you what is invisible to the eye, hidden under this millennial city full of treasures.

Tour is upon request, and takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes.
The tour is partly suitable for disabled people.
Entrance to the sites is included but depends on opening times and days.
