Il giro a differenza di tanti altri tour è regolato in base alla giornata. Assolutamente consigliato e il ragù di triglie spettacolare”
4-hour boat loop around Ortigia with swim stops, prosecco and wine, plus a homemade Sicilian lunch on board in Syracuse.
“It was fun unfortunately the weather was not cooperating the the strong winds kept us from getting into the caves and small swimming spots. We were also the only people on the boat...it would have been more fun if there were some other people to share the experience with. The Captain was delightful and informative and tried to make the most out of our situation. Food was good and plentiful.”
