What to expect
You'll board a boat and move along Syracuse's shoreline, stopping to admire landmarks and natural formations while sampling locally-produced provisions. The sea caves appear as you head north—their walls streaked with colour and studded with living coral. Near Plemmirio, the water becomes calm enough for swimming; bring a towel and swimwear if you want to cool off. Your guide remains on board and will point out what you're seeing. The pace is leisurely rather than rushed.
Good to know
