Fun excursion - Highly recommended for those who want to see Ortigia from another point of view and the added value to the excursion was the skipper Giuseppe who with his jokes made us spend 1 hour in joy. The boat has an awning so even on sunny days you are sheltered during the tour. In addition to this, at the end they send you the group photo by message as a souvenir.

Great sail around the island of Ortigia / Nice boat ride on the island of Ortigia - We had a beautiful evening. Franco (The Captain) took us around, we were even lucky to see the sunset.
