From Syracuse: Ortigia Island Boat Tour with Grotto Visit

The From Syracuse: Ortigia Island Boat Tour with Grotto Visit is a guided boat excursion departing from Siracusa, circling the historic island of Ortigia and entering sea grottos carved into the limestone coastline. Ortigia forms the ancient core of Siracusa, a city with Greek and Roman foundations dating back to 734 BC, and its sea-facing walls and rocky shoreline are best seen from the water.

The tour passes the exterior of the island, including views of the fortified coastline and sea caves accessible only by boat. The grotto visit is included, allowing passengers to enter the caverns directly from the water. Tickets cover the guided boat excursion and grotto entry. For a broader look at what Siracusa offers, the city also holds the Neapolis Archaeological Park, the Cathedral of Syracuse, and the Fonte Aretusa.
