Off the coast of Ortigia between nature and beauty

An intense blue rich in history surrounds Syracuse and its heritage of culture, art and traditions. The transparency of its inlets, the bays of the Ionian Sea, the wonder of a coast capable of preserving its biodiversity are treasures waiting to be discovered, which fill you with wonder at every glance. Together with a private skipper, reach and circumnavigate the island of Ortigia, the oldest part of the city. Admire the Grand Harbour, one of the largest in the entire Mediterranean, with docked yachts and the Cathedral rising from above, without missing the Aretusa fountain and the 12th century Maniace castle, built by Frederick II of Swabia to defend the city. Continue towards the open sea and delight in an aperitif on board, approaching the area of the sea caves, amidst reverberations and plays of light. Dive in to appreciate life beneath the water's surface, then listen to stories and legends related to the geology of the area. Continue with a visit to the Grotta dei Cappuccini, the Grotta del Corallo and the Grotta dell'Amore, so called because it is similar to a heart. Ending with Pillirina beach, inside the protected area of Plemmirio, for a journey of absolute beauty.
