Short boat trip around Ortigia - Booked through trip advisor with 12% discount code, so £26 for 2 of us. Very good value, informative and enough time to have a quick swim and see the main 3 caves.

Ortigia sea caves in September - Beautiful weather at 4pm and very friendly crew. We toured the coast or Syracuse and visited te caves, then we circled around the island of Ortigia for a beautiful view of the ancient city.

Bit of a Womp - Locations were nice, and you were able to have a 5min swim - but the driver wasn't interested in saying much besides what we were looking at. Overall wouldn't recommend.
