The guided tour of Syracuse’s Neapolis starts at Umbertino Bridge with the Temple of Apollo, Sicily’s oldest Doric temple. Explore Piazza Archimede and the Diana Fountain, then stroll to Piazza della Minerva with its limestone buildings. Visit Fonte Aretusa, a fresh water spring by the sea, and the Alfeo seafront with views of the Maniace Castle.

Next, explore the Archaeological Park: the 11th-century Church of San Nicolò ai Cordari, Roman Pool, and the Roman amphitheater used for gladiator fights. See the Altar of Hieron, the quarries at Latomie del Paradiso, including the echoing Ear of Dionysus cave, and end at the famous Greek theater carved into stone.
