Description

Experience an unforgettable afternoon where ancient history meets the vibrant flavors of Sicily. This experience will take you to the heart of Giardini Naxos, the exact spot where Greek settlers landed almost 3,000 years ago to found their first city on the island. Time Travel Your experience starts with admission to the Naxos Archaeological Park. With the ticket already included in the price, you can explore the evocative excavations: you'll walk along the ancient plateiai, admire the remains of the fortifications and temples, surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation and the scent of citrus fruits. The Symposium: Taste and Myth After soaking up the history of the site, we'll move to a beautiful, specially selected location, right on the edge of the archaeological area. Here, as the sun begins its descent behind the imposing profile of Mount Etna, you'll take part in a modern 'Symposium': Volcanic Wines: Taste two glasses of fine Etna wine, selected to tell you about the strength and minerality of our volcanic land. Naxos Platter: A careful selection of excellent local products, including Sicilian cheeses, local olives, ancient grain bread, and seasonal delicacies. Tales of a Distant Era: During the tasting, you'll be treated to anecdotes and fun facts about the daily life of the ancient Greeks and the myths that made this coast famous. A magical vibe Away from the city's hustle and bustle, you'll enjoy the moment when the sky turns orange and purple over the bay, making this aperitif the perfect time to take incredible photos and relax in an intimate and exclusive atmosphere.
