Beautiful and relaxing hike!! - A four-hour boat trip from Ortigia to the Plemmirio marine protected area is a relaxing and evocative experience. It starts along the historic buildings of Ortigia and then continues along the cliffs and natural caves of Plemmirio, with turquoise waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. While sailing you can enjoy beautiful views of the sea and the Syracuse coast. Lunch on board, usually based on fresh local products, completes the experience making it pleasant and comfortable, ideal for those looking for a trip between relaxation and nature. Staff very kind, helpful and very prepared in the guided tour! Highly recommended!!

Tour islet of Ortigia - Together with a group of friends we booked the whole boat just for us to do the tour of Ortigia.Non find the right words to describe the beauty of the coasts of Ortigia with its beautiful caves.And then arrived in the area, protected by the plemmirium was d obligatory to take a nice bath in those waters that are hardly found in other areas of Sicilia.E I do not want to avoid telling you about the excellent lunch that was proposed.Antipasti and really delicious first courses accompanied by a great vino.Io and my friends get off the boat satisfied and happy with the premise of redoing this experience. Finally a thank you to all the very prepared and kind cabin crew
