Full description

We challenge you to find a better feeling than putting your head underwater and admiring the beauty of the marine ecosystem!

On this 2½-hour sailing tour from Syracuse, you will sail through thePlemmirio Marine Protected Area in the company of a skipper who will explain many interesting facts about the area! You will also visit the most characteristic beaches and caves on the coast and enjoy snorkelling among colourful fish.

The sea here is home to so many different marine species and is just waiting to be explored! What are you waiting for?

What we will do

We will meet at the meeting point in Syracuse, where our skipper will be waiting for us. Climbing aboard thePerseide sailing boat , we will let ourselves be guided by the wind and, depending on the direction in which it blows, the skipper will choose the route of our adventure.

We will sail to the Bay of Pillirina and admirethe cave of the same name, which became famous thanks to the legend of the young fisherman who used to meet his beloved here. Moving around the bay, we can stop near the coast and swim to the many small beaches there.

Or, if the wind decides so, we can head towards the Giant's coast, which is also full of magnificent beaches and caves and characterised by an enchanting landscape.

On both itineraries it will be possible to make several snorkelling stops and fully appreciate the fauna and flora of the area. In fact, the tour will take place within thePlemmirio Protected Marine Area. On its seabed are many relics from past eras and the marine species that can be encountered there include starfish, anemones, sea urchins, snappers, amberjacks and corals. If we are lucky, we may even spot swordfish, dolphins and turtles!

The tour, which will end at the starting point, will last a total of two and a half hours.
