Tour description

"Alpheios’ sacred stream, precious gem of the great Syracuse, Ortygia, altar of Artemis"(Pindar, The Nemean Odes)
The island of Ortygia was the first site of the Corinthian colonists and it contains the complex historical events of Syracuse among the streets of Greek origin, the walls of the Medieval buildings and the façades of the Baroque churches. Here, as one can seldom find elsewhere, myth and history, ancient and modern, pagan and Christian, light and shade, combine harmoniously with a natural backdrop of incomparable beauty.
