Sightseeing Cruise to Ortigia Island & Sea Caves

The Sightseeing Cruise to Ortigia Island and Sea Caves is a boat tour departing from Siracusa, on the south-eastern coast of Sicily. Ortigia is the historic island centre of the city, connected to the mainland by two short bridges, and is home to the Duomo, the Fonte Aretusa freshwater spring, and a dense grid of Baroque streets rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake.

The cruise follows the coastline around Ortigia, passing sea caves carved into the limestone cliffs and offering views of the city walls and harbour from the water. Tickets cover the boat journey and guided commentary on the main landmarks visible along the route, including the cave formations accessible only by sea.
