What you can expect

This adventure begins with a visit to the Temple of Apollo, the oldest Greek temple in Sicily, dating back to the 6th century B.C., and continues with the discovery of the Church of San Filippo Apostolo alla Giudecca, known for its crypt and historic well.

Piazza Archimede is the next point of interest, where the Fountain of Diana tells the legend of the Nymph Arethusa.

The majestic Cathedral in Piazza Duomo is a superb example of Sicilian Baroque architecture.

The tour concludes with a visit to the Arethusa Fountain, a legendary site where fresh water gushes from the sea, symbolising the love between Arethusa and Alphaeus.

This guided experience is made even more special thanks to licensed tour guides who reveal all the secrets of Ortigia, making the Walking Tour of Ortigia a unique experience for those seeking to immerse themselves in the history and beauty of this fascinating island.
