Very quick trip exploring...

Very quick trip exploring the harbor and caves with a 10 minute swim. I wish it was longer and we got more swim time!

Tour by sea

Another way to visit Ortigia. Easy and pleasant. It’s a one-hour trip, so it’s quick, but it’s worth it.

Beautiful experience, very fun and beautiful. The guide, Sebastiano, was excellent; he involved us a lot and we enjoyed hearing the history of the island.. personally, I highly recommend doing this experience because it stays in your heart.. also the guy at the reception, Stefano, was very sweet and kind.. absolutely to be done again as soon as we return.
