Overview

Our only tour on the water: a small wooden boat takes you around the island of Ortigia to see the city from the sea, then along the coast to the sea caves of the Plemmirio.

The skipper stops for a swim in a turquoise cove before returning to the harbour.

Why go?

Seeing Ortigia from the water is the perfect way to understand why the Greeks chose this island.

    Beautiful places and a relaxed pace. We asked for a stop that was not on the program and the guide was happy to add it.

  2. James O’Connor

    Excellent value for money. The tastings were generous and the stories even better. Highly recommended.
