Private boat tour to Ortigia and Syracuse's sea caves

Explore Syracuse's coastal highlights aboard a private boat tour that takes you to sea caves and around the island of Ortigia. The journey begins along Syracuse's northern coastline, where limestone sea caves create dramatic formations against the Mediterranean backdrop. Pause for a refreshing swim in a secluded cove known for its crystal clear water. Snorkelling equipment is available onboard for those wishing to explore the underwater environment. While on the water, you can also enjoy chilled prosecco and fresh seasonal fruit.

As you circle Ortigia, admire the Maniace Castle positioned at the island's southern point. This medieval fortress provides an excellent photo opportunity from your vantage point on the water. Before returning to port, there will be a second swimming opportunity at Fonte Aretusa, where you can feel the contrast between the warm seawater and the cold freshwater spring. This private tour can be tailored to suit your preferences, ensuring a memorable adventure.
