Giace della Sicania al golfo avanti un’isoletta
che a Plemmirio ondoso è posta incontro, e
dagli antichi è detta per nome Ortigia.
A quest’isola è fama, che per vie sotto il mare
il greco Alfeo vien, da Doride intatto,
infin d’Arcadia per bocca d’Aretusa a mescolarsi
con l’onde di Sicilia…

(Virgilio, Eneide, libro III-1095)

Mission

Nearly two thousand years ago she sang Virgil in the Aeneid the coast of Syracuse, the peninsula Plemmirio and Capo Murro di Porco, which was seen in the centuries as a border between land and sea; today, however, is the heart of the Marine Protected Area of Plemmirio. This is where we start to lead you to discover the natural beauty above and below the surface, to dive together in a sea full of history and life.
