Simona will welcome you at the info point, and after a brief explanation of the tour on the map, also available in English and French, you will be escorted to the boarding point, which is located right on site so you don't have to walk in the sun. There, after a welcome from Captain Roberto, you will set off to explore the island of Ortigia, with all its landmarks seen from the sea: the Marina promenade, the Cathedral, the Aretusa Fountain, Maniace Castle, and the entire Levante waterfront. The boat will then turn towards the northeast coast of the new city of Syracuse, where you will be able to admire the high rocky cliffs and the caves, which, thanks to this type of vessel, you will also be able to explore from the inside. During the cruise, there will also be an opportunity to stop and swim in our crystal-clear waters. On the way back, we will return from Porto Piccolo, passing through the picturesque passage under the 3 bridges that connect Ortigia to the mainland, and you will be dropped off at your starting point.
Please note: There is no tour guide on board; instead, the friendly captain himself will provide some explanations in English and French, although he does not speak these languages fluently.
We will be waiting for you 20 minutes before the tour to check you in at our “Papyrus Excursion” stand located at Largo Porta Marina, 2, right next to the Porta della Marina monument.
