Boat Trip to Ortigia & the Sea Caves

If you are planning to visit the wonderful Ortigia Island, you certainly cannot miss our boat trip to Ortigia and the sea caves! Be amazed by the fascinating combination of ancient architectural heritage and picturesque natural sceneries.

The departure is from the small port of Syracuse. From here, the first part of the excursion will begin, in which you can admire the majesty of Porto Grande, considered one of the largest natural harbours in the Mediterranean. Passing by the historic Foro Italico, which also offers a glimpse of the façade of the Duomo, we will then continue towards the harbour exit. From the open sea, you will be impressed by the suggestive ancient city walls and the colourful buildings typical of the city. A tasting of fresh juices and delicious seasonal fruit will accompany you in the direction of our last stop.

After reaching the enchanting caves on the north coast of Syracuse, you will enjoy a 10-minute swimming stop. With full bellies, and refreshed by the clear water, we will explore the numerous caves together. Of all of them, we are sure that the recent limestone formations of Grotta Grande will leave you speechless. We will then return to the small port of Syracuse, where you can request the photos of you that we took during the tour.
