Dolce Vita Syracuse
What you'll experience
A restored 1968 Fiat 500 Spiaggina, waiting for you in Ortigia. Three hours around the island: the Cathedral that was once a Greek temple, the Arethusa Spring with the papyrus still alive, the seafront that in the morning belongs only to the fishermen, the final aperitivo by the sea.
No rigid itinerary — the car stops where you want, the photos we take if you like. For couples, friends, small families.
The car is driven by one of our chauffeurs, you are a passenger of the Mediterranean.
