The tour of Syracuse, Ortigia, and Noto is an immersion into the history, art, and culture of Sicily. Syracuse is one of the most fascinating and historically rich cities on the island. Founded by the Greeks in 734 BC, it was once one of the most important powers in the ancient world, rivaling Athens and Rome. The city holds great historical significance due to its connections with philosophers and scientists such as Archimedes and Plato.

Today, Syracuse is a blend of ancient history and Sicilian traditions. Its historic center, located on the island of Ortigia, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Starting from Catania, the journey will take you to the Archaeological Park of Neapolis, one of the most important sites of ancient Greece, where you will explore the Greek Theatre, the Roman Amphitheatre, the Ear of Dionysius, and many other archaeological treasures.

You will then continue to visit the historic center of Ortigia, a true mosaic of styles. Its streets and squares tell the stories of various dominations: Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Norman, and Baroque, offering a wide variety of architectural styles.

In the afternoon, the tour will take you to Noto, the capital of Sicilian Baroque, to admire its magnificent architecture and stroll along the “course of the stone garden.” The city, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, was founded in 1700 after the earthquake of 1693 destroyed the original city. Noto is renowned for its spectacular architecture and golden stone buildings. A true open-air museum, with elegant palaces, frescoed churches, and enchanting squares.
A unique experience for those who want to experience the most authentic and captivating side of Sicily.
