5.00Beautiful experience by boat, the island of Ortigia seen from the sea communicates emotions just thinking of how many sailors over the centuries have seen it protected by its beautiful Spanish walls. Great experience with friendly and attentive staff in meeting our every request. We spent a moment of complete relaxation; unforgettable experience to be repeated.
