Experience Details

If you have doubts about how to visit the splendid island of Ortigia, this boat tour with lunch or dinner on board is right for you!

Together with our skipper, you will visit the beautiful island adjacent to Syracuse, but you will also be able to admire the caves on the coast of Syracuse and the splendid Plemmirio Nature Reserve.


Leaving the port behind you, you will be able to admire the entire island, having the opportunity to see the majesty and beauty of Castello Maniace right up close.


You will proceed towards the northern area of Syracuse to visit the sea caves which possess an indescribable biodiversity.


Once off the coast, you will be able to take advantage of a nice refreshing swim but above all you will be able to taste a delicious meal: you will taste appetizers made up of local specialties and a first course, all cooked on board and surrounded by drinks, wine and Prosecco.


It starts again in the direction of Plemmirio, where you will stop to immerse yourself in the crystalline waters and have fun swimming!
