Ubicato a 268 metri s.l.m. questo sito archeologico offre un panorama marittimo unico e spettacolare. Le erbacce, presenti un po ovunque all'interno del sito, dimostrano una ingiustificabile incuria, il sito è completamente abbandonato agli insulti metereologici, nonostante ciò è bellissimo. Il vicinissimo e spettacolare Santuario di Tindari, a strapiombo sul mare ed i laghetti di Marinello, in basso, preconizzano una indimenticabile visita.
Despite the site being 'in ruins', many buildings were in excellent condition, some standing several stories high. The mosaics in the bath house were really beautiful and in fantastic condition considering the age and turbulent history. The small museum held some lovely items, but no English signs as usual in Italy. The site held some real atmosphere and beauty. It's amazing to see the same building techniques being 2000 years ago and the worn ancient steps up to the basilica.It is situated in a picturesque and peaceful landscape full of wildlife.
In barba alla maleducazione dei visitatori e all'incuria dei responsabili della gestione, rimane un sito archeologico di grande bellezza. La sua ubicazione panoramicamente invidiabile, le rovine degli insediamenti greci e romani e del teatro greco risalente al IV secolo a.c. rendono obbligatoria la visita di questo sito archeologico ancor più del vicino Santuario delle Madonna Nera. Imperdibile.
Bellissimo sito archelogico a due passi dal Santuario di Tindari.Tantissime colonne ed un bel Teatro antico all'aperto,fanno di questo sito un luogo archelogico assolutamente da visitare
The archeological site of Tindari is located on a promontory in the bay of the Tyrhenian sea between Milazzo and Gioiosa Marea. It covers the ruins of Tyndaris, a greek city founded in 396 BC by Dyonisius the Elder.Tyndaris was colonised by Rome in 254 BC and most of the actual vestiges date from the roman era.We scheduled a visit to the archeological site as it was mentioned in several guidebooks. Alas, it proved to be a terrible disappointment for the following reasons :First of all, there is very little to see. A little museum houses some inconspicuous artefacts found on site. Highlights of the walk are a small but rather well kept theatre, a monumental gateway and some mosaics in a bathing facility. Secondly, there is a lack of information. No guided tour, audioguide or guidebook are available. The information in the museum and the minimalistic panels along the walk are in italian only. Thirdly, the site clearly lacks maintenance. There is high grass everywhere and the walk is not clearly indicated. Fourthly, the much acclaimed view of the lagoon below the ancient city is blocked by fences, preventing you from approaching the edge of the promontory.In conclusion, don’t waste time or money here. The archeological site of Tindari is not even worth a stop when passing by.PS :Beware of Sicily ! It is an ideal location to practice water sports during high season, enjoy excellent food in a charming atmosphere and enroll for a few organized excursions with a local guide. It is however no country for individual cultural visit ! There are not that many highlights, opening times are liable to sudden changes and usually information is available only in Italian.
Каждый шаг - шаг в древнюю историю.Каждый вздох - дыхание древней и настоящей истории...Здесь себя ощущаешь на грани веков... древних, средних и нашего времени. Люди уходили в горы от набегов сарацинов и арабов, строили города на скалах, чтобы с моря их не было видно. И сейчас трудно понять, как можно было осуществлять строительство на таких скалах...
o impacto da historia do mundo nos deixa emocionados. O teatro (o que restou dele), ruínas pomposas, é tudo muito interessante de se ver. A vista é deslumbrante.
Come molte meraviglie siciliane, sono arrivata quasi per sbaglio presso questo Teatro Greco del Tindari con Sito Archeologico che ripropone le antiche organizzazioni cittadine e un piccolo museo. Meraviglioso. Da visitare. Ci sono sgravi e sconti per i grandicelli e gli studenti.
A due passi dal Santuario omonimo, ha la stessa valenza culturale. Non è curatissimo, in verità, ma le vestigia visibili sono davvero da brividi. Straordinario al tramonto
Visited Tindari, not expecting much but when we arrived it was a great experience. Well priced attraction but very understated displays in the museum. A huge site facing the sea, it seemed as though most visitors stay at the top of the site and wander around the restored Roman architecture, baths with mosaics, and the amphitheatre. Go off the gravel path and you are free to wander around at leisure to see the remains of the settlement, uncannily treading on archaeology with every step - I picked up a couple of pieces of pot and a handle to an Amphora (placed them back where I found them though!).Not everyone's cup of tea, as there are few interpretive signs around, but peaceful and atmospheric.
