Unforgettable experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The best way to see Syracuse. Perfect private tour: beautiful boat, professional skipper and breathtaking sea caves. Seeing Ortigia from the sea at sunset, sipping a glass of wine, was the best moment of the holiday. Excellent value for money for the service offered. Recommended

Beautiful hike!! - A two-hour private excursion around the island of Ortigia is a suggestive and relaxing experience. The departure from the port immediately offers a splendid view of the historic buildings overlooking the sea. Sailing along the coast allows you to enter the sea caves, illuminated by spectacular plays of light, and admire the crystal clear waters of the Plemmirio Nature Reserve, where nature is still intact. On board, the offer of typical homemade products – such as cheeses, cold cuts, olives and local bread – accompanied by a full beverage service, makes the experience even more pleasant and convivial. The atmosphere is relaxed and personalized, ideal for couples or small groups who want to experience the sea of Syracuse in total comfort. Overall, it is a very complete excursion, combining breathtaking landscapes, authentic flavors and moments of pure relaxation. Skipper friendly, helpful and very prepared in the guided tour. Super recommended!!
