Ortigia is one of the guides we look after. These are the other projects by the same team, built the same way: hand-written texts and audio guides that play straight from the browser.

We build travel guides and audio guides for places we know well, one site per destination: carefully written content, practical information kept up to date, and an audio story you listen to on your phone without installing any app.

If you are planning a trip to eastern Sicily, the project below is the natural companion to a visit to Ortigia: from Syracuse to Villa Romana del Casale is about 100 km, a little over an hour and a half by car.

Villa Romana del Casale

Piazza Armerina, Sicily — UNESCO World Heritage

The late Roman villa near Piazza Armerina preserves 3,500 m² of mosaics: the Great Hunt corridor, the famous "bikini girls", the passage of the exotic animals. The portal covers opening hours, tickets, how to get there and a room-by-room tour of the mosaics, in the same seven languages as this site.

  • Opening hours, tickets and directions, kept current
  • A mosaic tour, room by room
  • Audio guide in 7 languages, straight from the browser

What they have in common

Written content, not filler

Every entry comes from verified sources and visits on site: no generic text copied from elsewhere.

Seven languages, always

Italian, English, Spanish, French, German, Polish and Portuguese, on the site and in the audio guide alike.

No app to install

The audio guides open in your phone browser and keep working even without a connection.

One itinerary, two stops

Ortigia in the morning, the Villa in the afternoon: two faces of the Sicilian past, the Greek city by the sea and the Roman countryside inland. Two guides you read the same way and listen to at the same pace.
