Details
Our boat trip to Ortigia and the Pillirina Beach is the ideal opportunity to get to know some of the most famous natural and architectural attractions in the Syracuse area.
Departing from the port of Syracuse, we will navigate along the coast of Ortigia, offering you the chance to fill your eyes and heart with spectacular views of the old town. You will find Baroque architecture and historical monuments, such as the Maniace Castle and Syracuse Cathedral, as well as ancient walls and picturesque houses overlooking the sea.
Continuing on, we will reach the suggestive sea caves of Ortigia, known for their impressive rock formations. Our trip also includes a visit to the Pillirina Beach, a corner of paradise with golden sand and clear waters.

They are wonderful places, and if you are lucky enough to be taken there by Paolo, a real sea dog, it becomes even more fun.
The staff is very kind and helpful.
