The Journey

1

Historic Centre of Syracuse (Ortigia)

Discover the enchanting island of Ortigia, the historical heart of Syracuse. Wander through its labyrinthine streets to uncover masterpieces like Caravaggio's 'Burial of Saint Lucy', housed within the grandeur of Syracuse Cathedral, originally the Temple of Athena. Explore the remnants of the Temple of Apollo, Sicily's oldest Doric temple, and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Archimedes Square, named after the city's famous son. Lose yourself in the historic Jewish quarter, the Giudecca, and be captivated by the mythical Fonte Aretusa, a freshwater spring steeped in legend, where papyrus still grows.

2

Archaeological Park of Neapolis

Step back in time at the Neapolis Archaeological Park, home to some of the most significant Greek and Roman monuments in Sicily. Marvel at the immensity of the Greek Theatre, carved into the Temenite hill and once a stage for the plays of Aeschylus and Sophocles. Explore the Roman Amphitheatre, a testament to Roman power, and venture into the Ear of Dionysius, a cavern famed for its unique acoustics and legendary association with the tyrant Dionysius I.

Fishing Village (near Syracuse)

Escape the city bustle and embrace the authentic charm of a traditional Sicilian fishing village. Enjoy some free time to wander along the harbor, observe the colorful boats bobbing in the water, and perhaps savor a delicious seafood lunch at a local trattoria. Immerse yourself in the laid-back atmosphere, where time seems to slow down, and experience the true essence of Sicilian coastal life. Experience the local culture by observing the daily life, the fishing traditions passed down generations, and the genuine warmth of the villagers.

Noto

Journey to Noto, a UNESCO World Heritage city, and be mesmerized by its exquisite Sicilian Baroque architecture. Rebuilt after the devastating 1693 earthquake, Noto is a symphony of golden stone buildings adorned with ornate facades, graceful curves, and whimsical details. Stroll along Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Noto's main street, and admire the grandeur of the Cathedral of San Nicolò, Palazzo Ducezio (the Town Hall), and the many other palazzi and churches that make Noto a true masterpiece of Baroque art and urban planning. Visit during the Infiorata di Noto (flower festival) in May to see the streets transformed into vibrant carpets of floral art.
