A corner of paradise in the heart of Syracuse, where history and beauty meet on the crystal-clear sea of Sicily.

Set in the splendid setting of the island of Ortigia, Porto Piccolo offers a unique atmosphere and breathtaking views, making it the ideal starting point for exploring the wonders of the Syracuse coast.

Let's explore the splendid jagged coast of Syracuse

A place rich in natural wonders. We visit the three accessible caves, famous for their striking shapes and spectacular colors that offer a unique experience.
 

Bathroom Stop

10-minute swim stop in the crystal-clear waters near the evocative sea caves of Syracuse, for a totally relaxing experience immersed in natural beauty. 

Ortigia seen from the Sea

Admiring Ortigia from the sea is like leafing through a stone book written with centuries of history. Only from the sea can you fully appreciate the charm of this ancient island, the beating heart of Syracuse, reflected in the clear waters that embrace it.

Sailing along the perimeter of the island, unique scenes are revealed: the ancient walls emerging from the sea, the terraces of historic palaces, the majestic Fonte Aretusa overlooking the water, up to one of the most evocative symbols: the Maniace Castle.
This fortress, jutting out like a sentinel at the far tip of the island, tells of Norman times and ancient military splendor. Seen from the sea, its grandeur is even more extraordinary.

Ortigia from the sea is not just a vision: it is a journey among lights, reflections, and profiles sculpted by time. An authentic and unforgettable experience that reveals the true soul of Syracuse.

Aperitif on Board

To make everything even more enjoyable, the excursion includes an aperitif on board with chilled prosecco and seasonal fruit, to savor while the sun caresses the profile of Ortigia and the sea is tinged with golden reflections.

A perfect experience for couples, groups of friends, or anyone wishing to experience Syracuse from an exclusive perspective, combining culture, relaxation, and Mediterranean flavors.

Discovering the Plemmirio Reserve

Let's continue our tour heading towards one of the most beloved natural wonders of the Syracuse coast: the Plemmirio Nature Reserve. A protected area full of charm, where unspoiled nature meets the deep blue of the Mediterranean.

During the navigation, we will approach the evocative area of Pillirina, one of the most famous and photographed beaches in Syracuse. Its crystal-clear waters, rocky coastline, and transparent seabed make it an unmissable destination for those seeking authentic landscapes and moments of pure relaxation.

The wild beauty of Plemmirio, combined with the tranquility of Pillirina, offers an unforgettable experience to those who wish to enjoy the sea in all its essence, among breathtaking views and refreshing dives.

Acquavision

Some of our boats are equipped with glass panels in the hull, allowing you to observe the seabed while sailing: a unique opportunity to discover the hidden beauty beneath the surface, among plays of light, golden sand, and small forms of marine life.

An ideal experience for those seeking authentic emotions, combining culture, nature, and comfort at sea.

Making this experience even more special is the final passage under the bridges that connect Ortigia to the mainland: Ponte Santa Lucia and the evocative Ponte Umbertino, an exciting moment that symbolically unites the island with the city, leaving a unique and poetic memory of Syracuse seen from the sea.
