Your Itinerary
La Nassa
At this stop, you will enjoy the tour's first savory item - caponata - and learn about its Sicilian and Arab-influenced history.
Admission Included
Temple of Apollo (Tempio di Apollo)
Learn a bit of history about one of the most important ancient Greek monuments in Sicily and spend a few minutes taking photos with the help of Tonia or taking selfies.
Fountain of Diana
We will view the beautiful Fountain of Diana, learn about her story, enjoy the lovely Piazza Archimede, and have another opportunity to take Instagram-worthy photos. As usual, Tonia is happy to be your photographer.
MOON - Move Ortigia Out of Normality
Our second food stop includes your first sweet treat. This is one of your rare opportunities to experience vegan cannoli in Sicily.
La Piazza Duomo
The grand Piazza Duomo is the highest point on the island of Ortigia and introduces you to the island's gorgeous Baroque architecture. You can admire the exteriors of the stunning Siracusa Cathedral, the Palazzo Senatario (Town Hall), and the Santa Lucia Church. This is another wonderful opportunity for photos. Admission to the monuments is not included.
Admission Not Included
Sabadì - Bottega e Cantina di Affinamento del Cioccolato - Siracusa
This lovely artisan Sicilian chocolate shop features handcrafted, cold-pressed delights. All chocolate tastings are free and unlimited. It also makes excellent gifts.
Arethusa Spring
The beautiful Fountain offers a bit of mystery and mythology to the tour. You will learn about the tragic love story that brought this unique freshwater spring to the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. What adds to the wonder of this lovely spot are the papyruses, grasslike aquatic plants that are very rare in this part of the world. Plan to come back in the evening for the island's beautiful sunset.
Maniace Castle
We will walk along the water to the stunning castle perched on the edge of Ortigia. This massive stone fortress protected the city of Syracuse for eight centuries. You'll learn a bit about its long history, and we'll have time for more photos! Admission to the Fortress is not included, but Tonia does recommend returning to explore the monument at your own pace. **This stop is time-dependent, so at the height of the busy season, it may not be included.
Admission Not Included
Giardino Aretusa
Next, we'll wander through the lush, shady garden, along the sunny marina, before heading back to the center of Ortigia.
Arancina
Next is our third food stop that includes a savory Sicilian favorite - the arancina. This stop will give you the chance to sit, rest, and enjoy your meal while you learn more about the Arab-influenced street food staple.
Admission Included
Statua di Archimede
We will visit the Statue of Archimedes for a bit of history and our final photo opportunity!
Voglia Matta
This is our last sweet food stop and the tour's grand finale! Whether you are craving sorbet, vegan gelato, or Sicilian granita, you will find a flavor or two to devour!
