A full-day tour of these fascinating UNESCO World Heritage cities. In Syracuse you will visit the Neapolis Archaeological Park with the Greek Theatre, the Roman Amphitheatre, the Altar of Hieron, the Latomy of Paradise and the Ear of Dionysius. The old city with its maze of tiny streets lies on the quail-shaped island of Ortygia, where you will find the spectacular cathedral, the temple of Apollo, the Fountain of Arethusa, and the colourful daily market offering fresh produce, cheese and fish. Noto, rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake, is renowned for its breathtaking Baroque architecture, enhanced by the golden colour of the stone used for its construction. In particular you will see the impressive balcony corbels of Palazzo Nicolaci, and a series of lovely churches, culminating with the cathedral, reached by a long flight of stairs, and the pretty public gardens.
