Syracuse Caves Tour

Departure from Avola, heading north, with an initial stop to admire the remains of the old Avola tuna fishery. We will continue with a leisurely navigation along the seafront, then the roundabout on the sea, Caponegro point, and a stop in front of the enchanting white cliff of Gallina. We will resume navigation for another stop within the Gulf of Noto at Arenella and shortly after in the crystal-clear waters of the Plemmirio Marine Reserve for some snorkeling. Sicily Boats provides all participants with snorkeling equipment, including fins, masks, and snorkels. We will exit the Gulf of Noto to explore the charming coves and caves of Syracuse, including the Lovers' Cave, Pillirina Cave, Turtle Cave, Stalactites Cave, Glasses Cave, and others. We will make a stop on land at the island of Syracuse for a walking tour of the charming Ortigia. During the stop, we will enjoy our aperitif with arancini, focaccine, fruit, soft drinks, beer, and Sicilian sparkling wine! We will then begin the return crossing, stopping near the Maniace Castle of Ortigia, then the bay of Fontane Bianche, and finally arriving back at the starting port. The total average navigation time is about 2 hours and 25 minutes, so the rest of the time is dedicated to swimming stops and visiting Ortigia.
