Guided Tour of Neapolis Archaeological Park & Greek Theater of Syracuse

·Siracusa, Italy

Highlights

Explore the rich history of Syracuse by joining a guided tour of Neapolis Park and the iconic Greek Theater.
Step back in time at the ancient Greek Theater, carved into Temenite Hill over 25 centuries ago, still used for performances today.
Experience the unique acoustics of the 23-meter-high Ear of Dionysius and wander through the historic Latomie del Paradiso, a former prison transformed into a lush garden.
Visit the Altar of Hieron II, where sacrifices to Zeus once took place, and then marvel at the Roman Amphitheater, the site of ancient gladiatorial contests.
Fun fact: Despite its name, Archimedes' Tomb in the park is actually a Roman columbarium, not the final resting place of the famous Greek mathematician.
