Leontinoi was settled by Greeks during the 8th century BC, and it had a very important role in the struggles and power dynamics between Greeks and natives in eastern Sicily.
Our expert-led private tour will take you back in time, visiting the archaeological area of Leontinoi, the prehistoric site of Metapiccola hill, and taking in the ruins in the San Mauro valley and its surroundings.
Then, we will take you to the Archaeological Museum of Lentini, where we will travel through 3000 years of history. From the prehistoric village to Greek burials, to temples of the goddesses, to the medieval “Castellaccio”, the artefacts will tell you, with our voice, their stories.
