About this tour
An eight-hour minivan journey along Sicily's southeastern coast, departing Syracuse to explore three distinct coastal spots. You'll swim at San Lorenzo's sheltered bay, discover the cliff-fringed cove of Cala Bernardo, then wander the fishing village of Marzamemi where local restaurants line the waterfront. The route hugs the shoreline with significant time spent travelling between stops, allowing gradual immersion into the region's maritime character.
Highlights
- Swim in San Lorenzo's clear waters and sandy beach
- Explore Cala Bernardo's dramatic cliff-bound inlet
- Wander Marzamemi's narrow streets and fishing harbour
- Sample regional food at waterfront eateries
- Air-conditioned minivan transport throughout
What to expect
You'll depart Syracuse mid-morning and spend roughly equal time between travel and exploring three beaches. San Lorenzo offers straightforward seaside swimming with golden sand backed by low cliffs. Cala Bernardo presents a more rugged setting—taller cliffs frame a quieter cove where fewer visitors congregate. The final leg takes you to Marzamemi, a working village rather than a resort; expect narrow lanes, modest architecture, and an authentic harbourside atmosphere. Most of the day involves minivan journeys along coastal roads, giving you views but requiring patience.
Good to know
Lunch isn't included; eat at Marzamemi's restaurants or bring provisions. Minimum four people required for departure. Strollers work on village streets but beaches may challenge wheels. Wear swimwear under clothes and bring sun protection. Service animals welcome.
