Description

You will be welcomed by Simona at the info point and after a brief explanation of the tour on the map, also in English and French, you will be escorted to the boarding point, located right on site so you don't have to walk in the sun.

After being welcomed by Captain Roberto, you will set off to explore the island of Ortigia with all its monuments seen from the sea: the Marina promenade, the Cathedral, the Aretusa Fountain, the Maniace Castle, and the entire Levante waterfront.

The bow will then turn towards the northeast coast of the new city of Syracuse, where you can admire the high rocky cliffs and the caves, which you can also visit inside thanks to this type of boat.

During the cruise, you will also have the opportunity to stop and swim in our crystal-clear waters.

On the way back, we will return from the Porto Piccolo with the evocative passage under the 3 bridges that connect Ortigia to the mainland, and you will return to the starting point.

Please note: there is no tour guide on board, but the captain himself, with his friendly manner, will provide some explanations in English and French, even if he does not speak them very well.

We will be waiting for you 20 minutes before the tour to check in at our 'Papyrus Excursion' stand located at Largo Porta Marina, 2, right next to the Porta della Marina monument.
