Let yourself be captivated by the allure of nature and history on a boat trip to the island of Ortigia, the Sea Caves, and the Plemmirio Nature Reserve. Discover the monuments of Ortigia and its natural beauties while sipping a glass of prosecco, and take a relaxing swim in a natural cove during the excursion.
Your journey begins from the Umbertino Bridge, steering towards Syracuse's Porto Piccolo (Lo Sbarcadero), a place dedicated to the patron saint, Saint Lucy. From this point, you'll explore three natural caves, one charmingly shaped like a heart. You'll then proceed towards the island's eastern waterfront, where you'll admire the imposing fortress nestled in the heart of the ancient city, Castello Maniace.
The excursion carries on with other significant landmarks, such as the Fonte Aretusa, a freshwater spring that flows into the Ionian Sea. You'll eventually reach the splendid Plemmirio Marine Protected Area "La Pillirina," offering an opportunity to swim in one of the most exquisite coves in the world. The tour concludes with your return from the Porto Grande (La Marina), passing under the Umbertino Bridge.
