Private Day Trip to Syracuse from Taormina
Overview
Thanks to its ancient history, the magic of Ortigia island and the charm of its coast, Syracuse is one of the most popular destinations in Sicily.
Our driver will pick you up from your accommodation at your most preferred time and drive you to the beautiful city of Syracuse. The first stop will be at the Neapolis, the archeological area of the city. Here you will have free time to admire the roman amphitheater and the impressive and solemn Greek Theatre, the biggest in the island and one of the biggest in the world, entirely carved into the rock. You can also visit the Ear of Dionysius, an artificial cave placed right under the Theatre. It is called this way for its ear shape and also for its acoustic properties.
Afterwards, the driver will drop you off in Ortigia Island, the ancient historical centre of Syracuse. Here you will have free time to stroll in the characteristic streets and see the most important monuments such as Aretusa Fontain, the Cathedral and Maniace castle.
