3.Boat tour in Pillirina, sea caves and Ortigia and prosecco

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 56 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $54

Spend about two hours on the water, circling Ortigia, passing below Maniace Castle, and reaching Pillirina in the Plemmirio marine reserve. Your skipper chooses the swimming spot according to sea conditions. Prosecco, water, soft drinks, fuel, and snorkeling masks are included, but bring your own tube.

“Personale dell'agenzia molto carino e disponibile, il problema però era che a un prezzo così elevato ci saremmo aspettati molto di più da vedere. Mare pulito ma acque scure e non cristalline, grotte quasi inesistenti, bagno in mare aperto in luoghi a caso privi di particolarità da vedere o visitare. Mi aspettavo molto di più”

And nature did the rest of the magic...Auto-translated”
