About Augusta
Augusta sits on a deep natural harbour between Catania and Syracuse, a working Sicilian port town whose real draw is the water and the coastline stretching north toward Brucoli. From here you can spend a morning swimming off the boat on a Boat Tour from Augusta to Brucoli with Swimming Stop, or trade the sea for the kitchen at a Traditional Cooking Class with Wood-Fired Oven Between Catania and Syracuse. It is an unhurried, local-feeling base for exploring eastern Sicily by sea and by table.

Frequently asked questions
Augusta's boat tours, sailing trips and yacht excursions run through the warmer months, and summer departures fill up first, especially at weekends. Book several days ahead in July and August, and earlier still if you want a private charter or a specific sunset slot. Cooking classes run year-round and are easier to arrange at short notice.
