Highlights
  • Duomo di Siracusa - In Piazza Duomo you can visit the Cathedral and the church of St Lucia alla Badìa and admire one of the most beautiful squares in the Mediterranean
  • Fonte Aretusa - we will stop to see the mythological Fonte Aretusa
  • Maniace Castle - stop at the Maniace Castle, entry to the terrace is free, while the visit to the Castle is subject to a fee
  • Piazza Archimede - stop at the “ DIANA “ fountain
  • Temple of Apollo (Tempio di Apollo) - 6th century BC temple
  • Noto - after the Ape Calessino tour (tuktuk) we will go to NOTO with car and driver, where we will have a free stop of 2 hours, in order to independently admire the well-known historic center of NOTO, capital of the Baroque and UNESCO Heritage
  • Marzamemi - Marzamemi stands entirely on the sea and its name derives from the Arabic “Marsà al hamen”, which means Bay of Turtle Doves, the birds that pass through here in spring. Another hypothesis, however, is that its name derives from the simple union of the two Arabic words marza (port) and meme (small).

Getting lost in the streets of Marzamemi is equivalent to taking a dive back into the past, a past rich in traditions, history and culture. Let yourself be carried away by the scents, explore every single alley, marvel at its colors that smell of the sea.

  • Syracuse - the tour will include a transfer service from Syracuse to Noto, from Noto to Marzamemi and from Marzamemi to Syracuse
