Tindari's Black Madonna, Ancient Ruins and Sea Views
Meet your guide and begin the walking tour. First, discover the story of the Black Madonna, whose devotion dates back to the ninth century, and visit the imposing Cathedral where you can see the original wooden statue portraying the famed Black Madonna. Then walk to the ruins of the ancient Greek-Roman colony and plunge into the daily life of one of the most important cities of ancient times. Approach the imposing theatre and the Roman Baths, which still display original floor mosaics, and finally stop at the cozy museum where you can admire objects found in the local necropolis. Walk back to the square overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and enjoy a unique view while having one of the best gelato in Sicily, a cappuccino, or a freshly made arancino, the famed rice ball, at the local café.
