Syracuse Wheelchair Accessible Guided Tour
This 8-hour wheelchair accessible guided tour of Syracuse includes visits to ancient Greek and Roman sites, a local market, panoramic views, and more!
Your guide and driver will pick you up from the cruise terminal in an accessible van to begin your cruise excursion. Syracuse is situated on the southern part of the Island of Sicily, so you will enjoy panoramic views of the Sicilian coast on your way to the city. This 2700-year-old city has so much to offer, that this full day accessible guided tour of Syracuse is guaranteed to be one of the highlights of your vacation!
Your first stop is the Archeological Park of Neapolis. This vast area of ancient ruins includes a Roman amphitheatre, a Greek theatre, and a stone quarry and gardens area (the Latomia del Paradiso).
You will then visit the historical heart of Syracuse, Ortygia Island. It is the “old city centre” and is a popular area for entertainment, shopping, and eating. Walk/roll down the streets of the old town to the Arethusa Fountain, a freshwater fountain and garden that flows to the sea. This unique fountain has been referenced by many writers and poets, including Ovid, Virgil, John Milton, and Alexander Pope, among others. The wheelchair accessible Arethusa Fountain viewing area from above has a ramp rather than stairs, so it is easy to navigate for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility.
Afterwards, you will walk/roll through the open air, local market of Ortygia, where vendors sell fresh fish, locally grown fruits and vegetables, and handmade goods. At the end of your Syracuse wheelchair accessible guided tour, your driver will take you back to the cruise terminal where you will board your ship.
Note: This accessible Sicily shore excursion is available from the ports Catania, Messina, or Taormina.
