We made the hike 2 times! The first with Giuseppe, professional sea wolf, the second with Titian, free and nice. We thank him for the advice on the sailboat 🤣! We recommend everyone to try the excursion with these guys! You can see Ortigia from another perspective, take a bath, take lots of photos and keep precious memories.
Fantastic exploration

A beautiful tour in a beautiful place to do if you are on holiday in Syracuse. The staff very helpful and professional in explaining the places visited even if for them it was the umpteenth time that they did. The dive from the boat into a beautiful sea and everything else will remain in our memories. Grazie!!!
