While sailing these waters, he encountered the Sirens, whose enchanting songs lured sailors to their doom. Warned by the sorceress Circe, Ulysses ordered his crew to seal their ears with wax and had himself tied to the ships mast. Legend says that one of the Sirens, Parthenope, washed ashore on the island of Megaride, where today stands the iconic Castel dellOvo, giving Naples its ancient name, Partenope.For travelers looking to deepen their experience, an optional street food tasting in Naples is available. This addition allows you to savor the authentic flavors of Neapolitan cuisine, sampling typical local street food specialties and discovering the city through its most genuine culinary traditions.
