19 narrated tracks

From the Temple of Apollo to Maniace Castle, every stop has its track: 2-4 minutes of curated storytelling, written to be listened to while walking.

One route, many stories

A single itinerary in the right order, and between the stops the "stories": the Arabs, Archimedes, Saint Paul, the battle of the Great Harbour.

Map and geolocation

The island map shows you where you are and which stop is next: impossible to get lost, even in the alleys of the Giudecca.
