Itinerary
Our first stop will be the Temple of Apollo, considered the oldest temple in Sicily. Here, we will explore the secrets and anecdotes related to the founding of Syracuse
In front of this place, we will tell one of the most famous stories of Ortigia, passed down through generations, about a sweet little girl with blonde curls and blue eyes who got lost among this maze of narrow streets, along with the anecdotes related to the palace in question.
In front of this place, we will unveil a tragic love story and the mythological anecdotes behind the goddess of the hunt and her protected water nymph, Arethusa.
Beneath this church lie unique secrets. It is one of the most fascinating churches in Ortigia in many respects: it served as an air-raid shelter during World War II and was also used as a Jewish ritual purification bath during the Jewish period in Ortigia. Here, the stories of our predecessors and the people of Ortigia intertwine.
In this square, one of the most evocative moments of our tour will take place. You will witness our Medium in action and discover what unusual and magical experience awaits you. We will also speak about the goddess Athena and the hidden symbols connected to her powers.
In front of this place, we will speak about Artemis and her water nymphs, bound by a unique vow. We will explore the magic and mystery surrounding the Greek foundation of Syracuse.
In this dimly lit place, we will speak about the mysteries and tragic stories linked to the castle. Here, we will uncover who once lived in these spaces and who, perhaps, on certain special nights, still reveals themselves to a few. A meaningful and powerful souvenir will be offered at the end of our tour.
