About Syracuse

Syracuse rewards first-timers best from the water, where the limestone walls of Ortigia drop straight into the Ionian and sea caves open up along the shoreline. A short boat cruise is the easiest way to get your bearings, and the Syracuse: Ortigia Island and Sea Caves Boat Tour covers the essentials in about an hour. If you want a little more comfort, the Syracuse: Ortigia & Sea Caves Boat Tour with Prosecco & Fruit adds a glass in hand as you glide past the island's edge.

Frequently asked questions

Ortigia's old town sits on an island, so seeing it from the sea gives you the shape of the place before you walk it. Most cruises loop the island and slip into the sea caves along the coast, which you cannot reach on foot. It is a compact, low-effort way to orient yourself on your first day.
