Boat Trip along Ortigia and its Sea Caves

The enchanting city of Syracuse hides its oldest and most famous part in Ortigia. Come and discover it from the water with our boat trip along Ortigia and its sea caves in the company of our expert guide! During just one hour you will see all the artistic and natural beauty that characterizes this island, starting from the waterfront of its western part. On board one of our comfortable motorboat, we will circumnavigate the town, allowing you to enjoy the incredible view of the Duomo and the church of Santa Lucia, two architectural masterpieces. You will take numerous photographs of the historic Venetian Palace, as well as of the Umberto I Bridge, which has connected Ortigia to the mainland since the second half of the 19th century. The characteristic little harbour and the arcane former Bourbon prison will also not be missing from our itinerary. Continuing on, you will see the Spanish Walls and the magnificent Lungomare Levante in front of you, as we approach the Vigliena Fortress and the famous Maniace Castle, one of the symbols of Syracuse. The Fountain of Arethusa, the Alphaeus Promenade and the Porta Marina are the next points of interest you will admire, before heading towards the area's impressive sea caves. These magnificent rock formations enclose crystal-clear waters where you can swim and take a dip during a break. Observing the coral formations, stalactites and stalagmites inside will be an experience you will not easily forget! At the end of our intense adventure, we will take you back to the port.
