Journey back to the heart of Ancient Syracuse on a guided tour of the Neapolis Archaeological Park and the iconic Greek Theater.

Highlights

Uncover the layers of Greek and Roman history on a guided walk through Syracuse's Neapolis Park and its renowned Greek Theater.
Built 25 centuries ago into the Temenite Hill, the Greek Theater continues to be the stage for plays today.
Don’t miss the 23-meter-high Ear of Dionysius to hear your voice echo through time and the Latomie del Paradiso, an ancient prison turned garden.
See where animals were sacrificed for Zeus at the Altar of Hieron II, then head to the site of gladiatorial combats at the Roman Amphitheater.
Fun fact: While the park has a structure named Archimedes' Tomb, it is actually a Roman columbarium and not a burial site for the Greek mathematician.

Your experience

Ancient Syracuse beckons

Your adventure begins at the Neapolis Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with remnants of Syracuse's glorious past. Meet your expert guide and embark on a captivating exploration, starting with the magnificent Greek Theater, carved directly into the hillside. With 59 tiers of seating and a capacity of 15,000, it's easy to picture yourself amidst the vibrant crowds of ancient Greeks enjoying plays, poetry readings, and even public debates. Wander through the serene Latomia del Paradiso, a former limestone quarry transformed into a verdant oasis.

Listen for gladiatorial echoes

Stroll amidst citrus groves and marvel at the towering "Ear of Dionysius," a cave renowned for its exceptional acoustics. Legend has it that the tyrant Dionysius used it to eavesdrop on imprisoned enemies! Explore hidden necropolis chambers, some even rumored to be the final resting place of the great mathematician Archimedes. Take advantage of the Altar of Hieron II, a colossal testament to ancient sacrifice, where offerings were made to Zeus Eleutherios. End with the imposing Roman Amphitheater. Imagine gladiatorial combats and fierce animal hunts that once enthralled audiences within its walls.
