Full description
Have you ever visited Syracuse and theisland of Ortigia? OK, then you already know how spectacular they are. Seen from the sea, even more so!
Join our motor boat tour: a skipper will make you fall in love with Syracuse and Ortigia from a new perspective, admiring the sea from the glass bottom of the boat. All sealed off by the Grotta dell'Amore, whose romantic shape will frame the moment.
A 1-hour experience that will remain in your heart forever!
What we will do
I will be waiting for you at the selected time at the meeting point in Syracuse (SR). I am your skipper and I will welcome you aboard my glass-bottomed motorboat ; I look forward to accompanying you on this adventure by sea!
Once we have finished boarding all the passengers, we will be ready to set sail. We will circumnavigate theisland of Ortigia, with views of the Maniace Castle and the Arethusa Spring, symbols of the city. We will then sail to the sea caves of Syracuse: the Grotta dei Coralli (Cave of Corals ) and the Grotta dell'Amore (Cave of Love), so called because of its scenic heart shape.
A 10-minute bathing stop in this beautiful natural setting is (of course) included in the experience; to resist the wonder of the Sicilian sea is impossible!
We will finally return to the meeting point for a 1-hour experience.
