What to expect

Step into the heart of Sicily, where Syracuse and the island of Ortigia await, treasure chests of ancient history best revealed from the very waters that embrace them. Climb aboard and let yourself be swept away by an experience blending sea, legend, and wonder: centuries-old monuments admired from the most spectacular vantage point of all, the open sea.

The adventure kicks off right: as soon as you set sail, a welcome toast of traditional Sicilian limoncello sets the mood, citrus aromas mingling with the sea breeze.

The tour departs from Porto Grande, gliding on to Porto Piccolo and the majestic Castello Maniace, an ancient fortress whose stories your skipper will share as you take in the view. From there you'll reach Fonte Aretusa, a freshwater spring steeped in myth, before slipping into three hidden sea caves, true masterpieces of nature where stalactites, stalagmites, and corals play with the light, creating a kaleidoscope of color.

The crystal-clear waters of these natural pools invite a refreshing swim, while good music along the way turns the trip into a floating celebration.

The final stretch wraps around the island's entire coastline, skimming past Ortigia's charming seafront.

Come discover Syracuse from its own unforgettable sea view.
