Ortygia boat ride

+6 photos
If you are wondering what to do in Syracuse, do not miss the opportunity to enjoy the Sicilian sea, with an excursion to discover Ortygia and the Sea Caves.
Admiring Ortygia by boat allows you to admire some of its most significant monuments and historic buildings: the Venetian Palace, the Umberto I Bridge and the Small Port, the former Bourbon Prison, the Spanish walls and the Lungomare di Levante, the Viliena Fortress, the Maniace Castle and the Fonte Aretusa. You will continue with the exploration of the sea caves on the north side of Syracuse: you will go into the caves, so you can admire stalactites, stalagmites, and coral formations up close.
This excursion in Ortygia will also offer you the opportunity, in non-adverse weather conditions, to take a short stop for a dip, where the water is bluer. Do not miss the opportunity to discover from the sea the city which Cicerone loved to call "the largest and most beautiful Greek city".
