Discover Syracuse from the Sea: A Journey through History and Natural Wonders
Let yourself be carried away on an unforgettable adventure through the crystal-clear waters that embrace Syracuse, the jewel of eastern Sicily. Our 60-minute boat tour will take you on a journey where thousands of years of history and natural beauty come together in a unique experience.
Departing from the majestic Grand Harbour, your journey begins with the sea breeze caressing your face as our experienced skipper guides you through centuries of history. We will sail to the picturesque Porto Piccolo, where you can admire the mighty Maniace Castle, which stands proudly by the sea. This ancient fortress, a silent witness to battles and conquests, will appear to you in all its magnificence from a privileged perspective that only the sea can offer.
The route continues towards the legendary Fountain of Arethusa, a freshwater spring shrouded in ancient Greek myths. Your guide will tell you the storey of the nymph Arethusa and the river Alpheus, while the waters of the spring mingle with the deep blue of the Mediterranean in a show of colours that will catch your eye.
But the real surprises await you in the three sea caves hidden along the coast. Upon entering these natural sanctuaries, you will be enchanted by the play of light that stalactites, stalagmites and coral formations create on the turquoise waters. Here, nature has worked for millennia to create a kaleidoscope of colours and shapes that will leave you breathless. And if the summer heat makes itself felt, you'll have the opportunity to bathe in refreshing natural pools of crystal-clear water for a moment of pure relaxation.
The last part of the tour takes you along the entire coastline of the island, skirting the picturesque waterfront of Syracuse. From here, you can admire the beauty of ancient Ortigia at a glance, with its Baroque palaces reflected in the waters of the sea.
Our tour includes everything you need for your safety and comfort: a professional skipper who is also an expert guide on local history, life jackets, and the necessary gear. All you need to bring is your desire to explore and a camera to capture moments that you will carry in your heart forever.
