Gourmet menu curated by the chef of the restaurant ‘A Surgiva
Pairings for D’Aveline – Grillo DOC

- Focaccia with fried eggplant, salted ricotta cheese, and tomato.
The wines available for tasting:
D’Aveline – Grillo DOC
A vibrant white wine made from Grillo grapes grown on calcareous and chalky soils facing north at 500 meters above sea level: this is where its taut flavor and floral elegance originate.
The nose releases white flowers, citrus peel and Mediterranean herbs; on the palate it is fresh, lively and balanced, with a clean and refreshing finish.
A label that tells the story of the family's roots — a tribute to the history and legacy of “Massaro Orazio di Aveline.”
Einai – Nero d’Avola DOC
A pure Nero from vineyards at 350 meters above sea level, on north-facing slopes with sandy soil and scattered stones: structure and balance are born here.
The color is intense ruby red; it smells of ripe black cherries, violets, and gentle spices. On the palate, it is elegant yet intense, with fresh acidity and soft tannins leading to a persistent finish. Full presentation... The name Einai means “to be”: it expresses presence, determination, and a philosophy that translates into every glass.

Description
Welcome aboard: in 2 hours and 30 minutes we will take you to discover Syracuse from its most beautiful perspective... the sea. Between Ortigia and the Syracuse coast, the scenery changes every minute: bright facades, ancient profiles, glimpses that often escape from the ground and suddenly become “close” from the blue.
One of the most exciting moments is exploring the sea caves: the rock opens up into natural cavities carved out by time, where the light bounces off the water and creates intense reflections, ranging from blue to turquoise. Entering them is an experience that always leaves you speechless, especially when the sea is calm and everything seems amplified by the silence.
During the trip, we stop at the most inviting spots for diving and snorkeling. We provide the masks! Under the surface, you will find clear waters, natural colors, and that sense of peace that only the sea can give.
We also reach Pillirina Bay, in the Plemmirio Marine Protected Area: a corner of unspoiled nature, where the blue becomes more intense and it feels natural to slow down. On board, water, fresh fruit, and a glass of prosecco await you, because part of the fun is taking the time to toast at the right moment.
Want to relax completely? Let's put on a playlist. Prefer silence? Let's just listen to the sea.
Why choose Pillirina Tour Experience
- All in one trip: Ortigia, sea caves, and Pillirina (Plemmirio)
- Easy snorkeling: masks included, the right amount of time and stops designed to enjoy the water
- Comfort & safety: skipper, safety equipment, and boat with awning
- Small, “real” emotions: reflections in caves, dives into the blue, toasts with a view
