Welcome to Syracuse the cradle of Greek Sicilian culture, with its characteristics limestone white-yellow colours. This sailing experience will lead you around the Island of Ortygia, heart of the first Greek colony founded in the 8th BC.

The vegetation near the walls is characterised by Papyrus plants growing inside the fountain of Arethusa, legendary connections between our territory and the Greek motherland.
