Yesterday we took a 4-hour boat tour in Ortigia, we went to see the caves and made stops to swim; we were a group of 4 friends, and it was simply perfect. The lunch on board was delicious, but the real added value was the staff: wonderful, super helpful, and attentive to every detail, especially Mr. Mario, who made us feel pampered from start to finish. Highly recommended if you want to experience Ortigia from the sea at its best!
