Milena

I grew up reading the ancient myths, translating the Greek historian Thucidides and dreaming of being an Egyptologist. However, time has taught me that my land of Sicily holds wonderful treasures of a rare beauty.

I’ll tell you about the places, the history, the legends, borrowing the words written by ancient and modern writers, and sharing our sayings and verses so you can live your own adventure and take back home a little piece of our centuries-old culture. My goal is to make you feel ‘Sicilian’ for a while and to show you each extraordinary place from behind the curtain, from the backstage where everything takes shape and where we still work and play. Come with me to fall in love with Sicily!

Uncovered Sicily tour of Ortigia
We had a lovely tour in Ortigia with our guide Milena. She was very knowledgeable about all of the periods of time that one can experience in Ortigia ranging from the Greeks up through what’s going on in Ortigia today. The tour ended in the market which gave us the opportunity to hear about local foods and exchange recipes. We really enjoyed getting to meet Milena and would have been delighted to spend more time with her!

Orientation to Siracusa/Ortygia
We had a wonderful tour with Milena yesterday. The Archaeological park was quite interesting, as was the walk through Ortygia. Milena was so knowledgeable and engaging, and the visit to the Mikveh provided a window into the historic Jewish community. The halfday tour was a perfect orientation to Siracusa/Ortygia.

Don’t go without a guide!
Do this! Hire a guide from Uncovered Sicily! Our guide, Milena made the ruins at Siracusa come alive with her comprehensive knowledge and fabulous stories of the many peoples who have lived on this corner of this beautiful island. It would have all been a mystery without Milena. The tour concluded with an enlightening walk through Baroque Ortigia bringing her ancient history lesson right up through contemporary times. An excellent investment of both time and money.
