What we will do
We will meet at the port of Palinuro, where the boat will be waiting for us to sail along the beautiful coastline. Thanks to the captain, we will have the opportunity to discover one of Italy's most characteristic coastlines, whose rocks hide many caves, one more beautiful and fascinating than the other, such as the Grotta Azzurra.
This is no ordinary coastline. It is no coincidence that it is also called the Coast of Myth, because every ravine and every cave brings with it a story to discover. Palinuro, for example, is a name that is inextricably linked to mythology: this was the name of Aeneas' helmsman, who fell into the sea betrayed by the god Sleep in these very waters.
During the excursion, we will listen on board to all the most curious stories about the most picturesque parts of the coastline and admire sea caves, coves and towers.
We will also make 2 bathing stops lasting approximately 20 minutes. The first stop will be at Cala Sulfurea, where we will experience a dip in the thermal waters. The second will be in the Baia del buon dormire, considered one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in Italy. The bay can only be reached by boat and is characterised by emerald-green waters and a tongue of fine, golden sand. A place so mythical that it is considered one of the abodes of the mythical sirens!
At the end of our tour we return to the starting point. The tour lasts 2.5 hours.
