Archaeological walking tours and hikings in eastern Sicily

Sicily offers to the visitors archaeological remains from prehistory to WWII with many sites dating back to the Greek and Roman age. Beside the mass tourism destinations and the most famous monuments there are also many 'minor' archaeological areas which are less known by tourists because they are off the beaten path. But often this sites are also small hidden gems who will surprise you. Since 2005 Hermes Sicily Tours offers also a selection of archaeological walking tours and trekkings specifically focused on archaeology.
