Siracusa Marina

This marina puts you right in the heart of Siracusa, with the ancient city essentially at your fingertips the moment you step off the boat. Spots are limited — only around 10 berths for smaller vessels since much of the space is reserved for superyachts and cruise ships — so book ahead. Shore facilities are solid: showers, water, electricity, and good security, all well maintained. The setting, surrounded by Baroque architecture and millennia of history, is hard to beat anywhere in the Mediterranean.
