Details
Discover the hidden gems of Syracuse with our boat trip to Ortigia with a visit to the sea caves and to the Plemmirio Nature Reserve with fruit and drinks included.
Departing from the picturesque harbour of Syracuse, we will slowly leave the cityscape behind us, as we navigate towards Ortigia Island, a jewel in the crown of Syracuse's cultural heritage. We will visit some of the most enchanting caves of the coast, including the Two BrothersRocks and the Pillirina Cave, while our skipper will share the many legends that surround these magical places.
Afterwards, we will venture into the Plemmirio Nature Reserve, a stretch of rugged coastline kissed by the Mediterranean sun with tall cliffs and hidden coves, a paradise for nature lovers. Depending on the sea conditions, we will make 2 or 3 swimming stops in the crystalline waters typical of this region.
As we conclude our trip and return to our starting point, we will offer you an apéritif with seasonal fruit and refreshing beverages, as a perfect finale to this beautiful experience.

Very nice tour, the Grotta dell'amore is beautiful. A wonderful place to swim in the crystal-clear sea. Captain Gaetano was very kind and friendly, and explained everything very well... plus, the music was wonderful... we'll be back. Thanks, Valerio and Maria.
