Discover the captivating allure of Ortygia, the old town center of Syracuse, on an exclusive private walking tour. Situated on a picturesque island very near to the mainland, Ortygia is a treasure trove of history spanning 3000 years. Your tour begins at the Apollo Temple, the oldest Greek temple in Sicily. As you walk through the enchanting narrow streets, you'll arrive in Piazza Duomo, where you will have the chance to explore a Catholic church that was constructed above an ancient temple, blending two cultures (the interior visit is only possible when there are no religious services taking place in the church). Admire the legendary Aretusa Spring, famous also for its papyrus plants. We will also enter into the lesser-known paths of the former Jewish district. Uncover the secrets of Ortygia with a personalized private walking tour, offering a unique perspective on the island. Explore the layers of history, embrace the beauty of the surroundings.
