Details

Our boat trip around Ortigia and the sea caves is the best way to be delighted by the spectacular views of the old town, famous for its Baroque architecture and historical monuments. During the trip, you will have the chance to admire sights such as the Maniace Castle and Syracuse Cathedral, and to discover the ancient walls and picturesque houses overlooking the sea. The departure for the panoramic tour of Ortigia is from Syracuse, and continuing our navigation, we will reach the sea caves of Ortigia. These caves are known for their impressive rock formations and crystal-clear waters. The light filtering through the openings of the caves creates plays of colour that make this place even more impressive. During the tour, we will make a 10-minute stop to allow you to swim in the clear waters. On board, you will find snorkeling masks, to allow you to explore the seabed and observe the marine fauna, before our return to the port of Syracuse.
