THE BASE NAUTICA
37°03'23"N - 15°16'01"E
The NAUTICA base is located on the beach near the Ciane river.
The seabed in front of the club is sandy, convenient for entering the water with sailing boats with a mobile dinghy, in complete autonomy. The nautical base offers students a place for briefing before and after each lesson and a comfortable space for storage. The Ciane river is part of a natural reserve aimed at protecting papyrus and preserving the environment of the Saline.
Between the Scoglio Galera and the extreme tip of Ortigia there is a shoal, also called "Secca Galera" which now emerges from the seabed up to about seven meters below sea level.
MYTH AND HISTORY
According to the myth, Ciane was a nymph who, for having opposed the kidnapping, PLANNED BY PLUTO, of her friend Proserpina, was transformed into a fountain by the compassion of the Gods. The young Anapo, at the sight of her transformed into water, asked to be transformed into a river too.
The ancient Greeks, after having passed the deepest part of the Mediterranean, discovered first of all the coast of Syracuse, and their first landing was in front of the Porto Grande. The landing places of Syracuse, to the north and south of the city, are considered among the oldest maritime ports in the Mediterranean. To the south, the inlet protected by Punta del Pero is touched by the current that has shaped its shallow seabed.
The bay is remembered with the ancient name "Daskon", which the Athenian army used as an entrenched shelter for the military and commercial fleet that followed, defending it with a palisade, during the siege of 415/413 BC. The garrisoned place was placed just beyond the beach.
A spring that is still active today, next to the bay, and two rocks to the south-east, on one of which a plaque was erected in memory of one of the naval battles won by the "Athenian boats" over the Syracusan ones, still remain today as a testimony to the event.
Today one of the two rocks called "Scoglio Galera", takes its name from the use that was made of it in past centuries where ships, forced to stop there, carried out quarantine before being allowed to land.

LA BASE NAUTICA
37°03'23"N - 15°16'01"E
La base NAUTICA si trova sulla spiaggia a ridosso del fiume Ciane.
Il fondale davanti al circolo e' sabbioso, comodo per entrare in acqua con barche a vela a deriva mobile, in completa autonomia. La base nautica offre a gli allievi una sede per il briefing prima e dopo ogni lezione e un comodo spazio per il rimessaggio.
Il fiume Ciane fa parte di una riserva naturale orientata alla salvaguardia del papiro ed alla conservazione dell’ambiente delle Saline.
Tra lo Scoglio Galera e la punta estrema di Ortigia affiora LA "Secca Galera" DA Circa sette metri DAL FONDALE.

la STORIA
Gli antichi greci, dopo aver oltrepassato il tratto più profondo del Mediterraneo, scoprirono anzitutto la costa siracusana e il loro primo approdo fu di fronte al porto Grande. Gli approdi di Siracusa, a nord e a sud della città, sono considerati tra i più antichi scali marittimi del Mediterraneo.
A sud l'insenatura protetta da Punta del Pero, è sfiorata dalla corrente che ne ha modellato il basso fondale. La baia è ricordata con l'antico appellativo "Daskon", che la armata ateniese utilizzò come ricovero trincerato per la flotta militare e commerciale a seguito, Difendendola con una palificazione. durante l'assedio del 415/413 a.C. Il luogo presidiato venne disposto appena oltre la spiaggia. Una sorgente ancora oggi attiva, a fianco della baia, e due scogli a sud-est, su uno dei quali fu eretto una lapide a ricordo di una delle battaglie navali vinte dai "legni ateniesi" su quelli siracusani, rimangono ancora adesso a testimonianza dell'evento. lo "Scoglio Galera", prende il nome dall'uso che se ne è fatto nei secoli passati dove le navi, obbligate a sostarvi, effettuavano la quarantena prima di avere il permesso di approdare.
