What you can expect

Set sail on a panoramic 70-minute boat tour around Ortigia Island and discover Syracuse from a unique perspective on the sea.
Cruise along the coastline and admire some of Ortigia’s most important landmarks from the water, including Umberto I Bridge, the former Bourbon Prison, the Spanish Walls, Lungomare di Levante, Forte Vigliena, Maniace Castle, the Arethusa Fountain, Lungomare Alfeo, and Porta Marina.
Continue towards the sea caves located along the Syracuse coastline. Enter the caves when sea conditions permit and admire natural rock formations, arches, openings, and the reflections created by the sunlight on the water.
Weather and sea conditions permitting, the experience also includes a short swimming stop in clear waters. Swimming is optional, so you can remain on board and continue enjoying the surrounding views.
A local skipper will accompany you throughout the experience, sharing information and curiosities about Ortigia and its coastline while giving you time to relax and take photos.
With its comfortable pace and short duration, this tour is suitable for couples, families, and travellers experiencing a boat trip for the first time. It is a simple and scenic way to discover Ortigia, its historic coastline, and the sea caves of Syracuse.
