SIRACUSA E ORTIGIA: PALCOSCENICO DELLA STORIA
THE EXPERIENCE
Passing through Syracuse one has the feeling of belonging to beauty and participating in an extraordinary balance between the wonders of creation and the human capacity to create unique things in the world. In Syracuse, the bond between man and nature takes shape, such as in front of the Greek Theatre looking out to the infinite sea in which the incomparable Ortigia is mirrored.
ITINERARY
1st STOP: Gathering and departure
A guided tour of Syracuse, home to the wonderful Neapolis Archaeological Park. The gathering is 15 minutes prior to departure at the meeting point you have selected.
2nd STOP: Neapolis Archaelogical Park
Amidst archaeological remains dating back to Greek and Roman times, we come to admire the Ear of Dionysius (Orecchio di Dioniso): an artificial cave located in the ancient stone quarry known as Latomia del Paradiso. Next we head towards the Greek Theatre, which is still used today as a venue for fascinating classical plays.
3rd STOP: The Temple of Apollo
After the visit to the Neapolis Archaeological Park, we set off to the island of Ortigia, the historic centre of Syracuse and a treasure trove of masterpieces, such as the Temple of Apollo, the oldest Doric temple in the Greek West.
4th STOP: Archimede Square
Proceeding down Corso Matteotti, one arrives at Piazza Archimede, dedicated to the historian after whom it is named, the centre of which is adorned by the Diana Fountain, related to the myth of the nymph Arethusa, transformed by the goddess Diana into a fountain to escape the amorous persecution of Alphaeus.
5th STOP: Cathedral
The striking Piazza Duomo, with its cathedral built on top of a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, leaves anyone who comes across it amazed. It is an architectural masterpiece, with a marvellous 18th-century façade and a mixture of different cults.
6th STOP: Fountain of Arethusa
Between suggestion and mythology, Fountain of Arethusa is one of the most mysterious places in Syracuse that keeps alive the memory of the myth of the nymph Arethusa who did not return the love for Alphaeus. Also known as the Fountain of the Papyri, vegetation growing inside it is fed by underground streams.
