1.5-hour island and sea caves boat tour in Syracuse

Embark on a 1.5-hour island and sea caves tour in Syracuse. The journey begins as you set sail from the main port, nestled within the embrace of the beautiful island of Ortigia. As the boat glides under the Umbertino bridge, you'll start to circumnavigate the island, revealing one of the largest natural ports in the Mediterranean.

As you continue your voyage, you'll pass by the Foro Italico, where luxurious yachts are moored. Above, part of the cathedral's facade, the Duomo, can be admired. Shortly after, the charming Aretusa fountain and the immense Maniace Castle come into view, marking the exit of the port. Once out on the open sea, Ortigia continues to captivate with its colourful facades, majestic churches, and protective walls.

Leaving the island behind, the boat heads towards the north coast of Syracuse. Here, between sips of refreshing juice and tastings of excellent fresh fruit, the boat will approach the caves for a refreshing swim stop. This is a chance to plunge into the crystal clear waters for an invigorating 10-minute dip before the return trip.
