Ortigia is the island where Syracuse was born almost three thousand years ago. With a licensed local guide you will cross the Umbertino bridge, stand before the Temple of Apollo and enter Piazza Duomo, where a Doric temple still lives inside the Cathedral.
We continue through the old Jewish quarter to the Fountain of Arethusa, a freshwater spring with wild papyrus a few steps from the sea, and end on the seafront with a view of the harbour.
