Overview

Experience the best of Sicily’s history and coastal beauty on this private ride from Catania to Syracuse and Ortigia. With hotel pickup by a professional English-speaking driver, you’ll travel in comfort through olive groves to explore some of the island’s most iconic sites.

Start at the Archaeological Park of Neapolis, home to the Greek Theatre, Roman Amphitheatre, and the Ear of Dionysius—an ancient cave known for its acoustics. Then, head to Ortigia Island, Syracuse’s historic heart, where baroque piazzas, the Temple of Apollo, and the sunlit Piazza Duomo await.

Enjoy free time for lunch or gelato along Ortigia’s waterfront (at your own expense), before visiting the 13th-century Castello Maniace, a seaside fortress with panoramic views of the Ionian Sea.

This customizable tour offers a rich blend of ruins, architecture, and relaxed seaside charm—all in a single unforgettable day. Admission fees not included.
