Half-Day Guided Boat Tour in Syracuse with Lunch & Wine

Setting Sail on Sicilian Seas

Your Sicilian saga begins along the stunning northern coastline of Syracuse, celebrated for its captivating sea caves crafted by coastal erosion and photogenic rock formations often likened to exotic animal figures. The Cave of Pillirina even has its own secluded bay! Your expert guide will tell you more about these natural marvels as the Plemmirio Nature Reserve looms over the horizon. Known as the 'green pearl of the Ionian', Plemmirio is a sanctuary of biodiversity.

Stunning Ortigia and a Sumptuous Lunch

As you circle Ortigia, the historic heart of Syracuse, admire the former Bourbon prison, the mighty Vigliena Fort, and the grand Maniace Castle, keeping watch over the island. The serene Levante and Alfeo promenades, on the other hand, highlight the city's bustling life. A noteworthy stop is the Arethusa Fountain, a legendary spot where the nymph Arethusa from Greek mythology surfaced after fleeing her underwater Arcadian home.

Enjoy being jetted to select swimming spots, and sip on a range of fresh drinks, from prosecco to locally-produced red wine. Make sure you carry your snorkeling gear or underwater goggles for a view of the marine life beneath you. As the narratives of the day seep in, relish a hearty lunch and try mixed appetizers cooked freshly onboard!
