What you can expect

Meet your skipper by the water in Syracuse and set off on a sailing adventure that includes a visit around island of Ortigia and a swim stop near the Pillirina Grotto.

Take in the lush flora and facinating fauna that live alongside the karst sea caves. Snap photos of Grotto dei Cappuccini, Grotto del Corallo and finally Grotto Grande (also known as the cave of stalactites).

Arrive at the Pillirina Grotto which is composed of limestone and clay rock where you can jump into the water or bring along your snorkelling gear and take a peak beneath the waves.

Stop on the island of Ortigia where the ancient architecture transports you back in time at a place where mythological gods were said to have been born. Return to your meeting point at the end of the tour with unforgettable memories of the coast.
