Having met up at 6:45 am at your chosen meeting point, we'll board a minibus that'll take us to Syracuse. The drive there from Sciacca will take 3 hours 30 minutes.

The first stop of the day will be at the Neapolis Archaeological Park, where you'll have 1 hour 30 minutes of free time. You can explore the ancient site in Syracuse, including the Greek theatre, Roman amphitheatre, ruins of ancient altars and temples, and caves used as prisons.

We'll then return to our vehicle and head to Ortigia, the old town of Syracuse. You will have 4 hours of free time to explore the island. You can learn about the city’s significance as a Mediterranean hub 2,700 years ago. This area is a World Heritage Site.
