About Syracuse

Syracuse is best understood from the water, where Ortigia's honey-coloured baroque facades rise straight from the Ionian and the coastline opens into hidden sea caves. A short cruise around the island pairs sightseeing with swimming stops and a glass of something cold, as on the Syracuse: Ortigia Island & Sea Cave Boat Tour with Prosecco, while those wanting the boat to themselves can book the Private Tour of Ortigia Island & Sea Caves: Scenic Cruise Experience.

Frequently asked questions

From the sea you see Ortigia's fortifications, the Castello Maniace headland and sea caves that are simply unreachable on foot. Boats also stop for swimming in clear water, and many cruises include Prosecco or a Sicilian aperitif on board, so the trip doubles as a relaxed outing rather than pure sightseeing.
