SYRACUSE private tour: exploring the hidden gems of Neapolis
Explore Syracuse on a private tour of the Neapolis Archaeological Park, where Greek and Roman history comes alive amid stunning landscapes. Start at the park entrance with the Church of San Nicolò ai Cordari and the Roman Pool, rock-carved tanks that supplied the nearby Roman Amphitheater for naval games. The Roman Amphitheater, from Augustus’ era, is carved into rock with three seating levels and underground galleries for gladiator combats and public shows. See the Altar of Hieron II, a 3rd-century BCE altar dedicated to Zeus, used for grand sacrifices showcasing the wealth of ancient Syracuse. Passeggiando nella storia giungiamo all’attrazione principale del parco, ovvero the Greek Theater, built by the Greeks, renowned for its acoustics and dramatic setting. End at the Latomie del Paradiso and the Ear of Dionysus, a cave famous for its echo and legendary use by Dionysius I.
