Ortigia Velobike Tour will give you the opportunity to discover Ortigia traveling through time on a ecological vehicle and finding a city with a history dating back a thousand years, but whose beauty endures to this day. Ortigia is the most appealing neighbourhood in Syracuse, in the southeast corner of Sicily island, and it’s exactly how you would expect an old Sicilian town to be like. It is a melting pot of various cultural elements that combine stunning architecture, relaxed attitude and delectable food.
Despite of its little dimensions, the historical hamlet of Ortigia is a very charming spot to visit, connected to Syracuse through a bridge. A well-preserved medieval island, with vibrant lanes that suddenly open on magnificent plazas, sparkling fountains, and historic ruins.
You will feel transported back in time by a century! During this environment-friendly Ortigia Velobike Tour, expect a duration of 30 to 60 minutes filled with exhilarating discoveries. The tour unveils the wonders of Ortigia and iconic landmarks such as the Tempio di Apollo, Duomo Cattedrale, Athena Temple, Archimede square and Fonte Aretusa. And then, you’ll be dazzled by the numerous white stone buildings that surround Piazza del Duomo, this expansive pedestrian-only area in the hearth of the island, and not just because the sun reflects so brilliantly off of them! They are in excellent condition and have beautiful architecture. Moving on a Velobike together with your guide, you will get access to unique areas that you would never have the chance to see otherwise!
