Step into the heart of Sicily, where Syracuse awaits with its distinctive island structure. This magical island boasts a rich history that's best appreciated from the tranquil waters surrounding it. Hop aboard your boat tour and prepare to be entranced by the grandeur of monuments viewed from the sea. Marvel at natural masterpieces within sea caves, where stalactites, stalagmites, and corals create a kaleidoscope of light.
You'll kick off your adventure at Porto Grande, before skimming onto Porto Piccolo and Castello Maniace. Your guide shares tales of this ancient fortress as you relish the view. You then glide your way to Fonte Aretusa, a freshwater spring steeped in mythology. Be prepared to gasp in awe as you uncover three hidden sea caves, offering refreshing natural pools of crystal clear water. If the mood takes you, feel free to take a dip!
The last stretch of your journey loops around the entire coast of the island and along the charming seafront. The tour includes a skipper/guide, jackets, life jackets and an unforgettable 75-minute exploration packed with opportunities for swimming. So come along and let Syracuse charm you from its very own aquatic viewpoint.
