    AU$292 per person

    Departs Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 7am - Approx 11.5 hours.

    More than any other city, Syracuse encapsulates Sicily’s timeless beauty.

Almost three millennia later, the ruins of that then-new city constitute one of Sicily’s greatest archaeological sites. The ancient city is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, the modern city has a population of around 125,000 people. Across the water from the mainland, Ortygia remains the city’s most beautiful corner, a casually chic, eclectic marvel where you can enjoy a very tasty local lunch at leisure!
