What you can expect

  • Itinerary – 3 Hours of Sicilian Wonders

    1. Sailing towards the Norman Castle of Aci Castello We will sail along the volcanic coast until we reach the picturesque Norman Castle of Aci Castello, a medieval fortress built on a black basalt cliff overlooking the sea. A majestic setting, ideal for spectacular photographs and historical stories narrated by our tour guide.

    2. The Caves of Ulysses – Where Myth Takes Shape
      We will continue south to the mysterious Caves of Ulysses, natural cavities linked to the legend of the Odyssey. Here, the sea takes on intense hues and the cliffs shaped by time tell ancient stories. A picturesque stop that combines nature and myth.

    3. Ognina – The Ancient Port of Catania
      Once past the caves, the peaceful seaside village of Ognina appears, once a Roman port and now an elegant residential area overlooking a small harbour bustling with traditional boats. The ideal place to breathe in the authenticity of Sicily.

    4. San Giovanni Li Cuti – Elegance in Lava and Sea
      On the drop-off, we will stop again at Aci Trezza, within the Ciclopi Marine Protected Area, for a longer stop dedicated to swimming and snorkelling in one of the richest marine ecosystems on the Ionian coast.
