Boat tour in the Ciane reserve
Boat excursion in the nature reserve of the Syracuse’s Ciane river
What could be better than taking a boat trip to the Ciane River Nature Reserve? If you are visiting the beautiful city of Syracuse, you can not help but organize a nice trip on the streets of “Alfeo”: go up the river Ciane and explore the wetlands of the salt pans, located near its mouth, is a unique experience.
Ciane River Nature Reserve: what to see by boat
If you want to immerse yourself in nature, one of the most interesting itineraries to arrange is to rediscover the myths and legends that lie behind the Natural Reserve of the River Ciane and the Salt Pans of Syracuse.
The crossing takes about an hour and every excursionist has the opportunity to immerse himself in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, truly unique.
An excursion on the crystal clear waters of the Ciane river is a relaxing and enjoyable experience: the river environment and the area of the salt marshes aretusee is the only nature reserve where the papiro grows spontaneously.
The fiume Ciane is born in Cozzo del Pantano from the sources Testa di Pisimota and Testa di Pisima, and after eight kilometers, flows into the Porto Grande of Syracuse.
Right here near the mouth you can visit the salt pans, now no longer in operation, which are the natural habitat and resting place of the native birdlife.
As for the beauties and the floro-nursery rarities, in the Natural Reserve of the Ciane River, the papyrus is the typical plant of North Africa that grows spontaneously.
A precious plant that differs from other shrubs for its erect stem with a triangular shape and for its inflorescences that look like “umbrellas” with many long branches.
The origin of this precious plant, from which the support on which the Egyptians wrote is obtained, is believed to be an autochthonous species.
This is one more reason to go back by boat to the crystal clear blue waters of the river of the nymph Ciane.
