Full description

Set sail from Torre Faro and cross the Strait of Messina to reach charming Scilla and the picturesque fishing district of Chianalea on a 4-hour boat tour.

After sailing past the colourful houses of Chianalea, you will head towards the caves of Bagnara Calabra. You will discover the Grotto of San Sebastiano, the Grotto of the Sirens and the Grotto of the Swallows, and stop at the beautiful bay surrounded by cliffs of Cala Janculla for a swim.

With any luck you may even spot dolphins!

What we will do

We will meet at Torre Faro, from where our navigation will begin.

The boat will cross the Strait of Messina and head straight for Scilla and the picturesque fishing district of Chianalea, with its colourful houses, restaurants built on stilts and narrow streets leading to the sea.

Once past Chianalea, we will head towards the Bagnara Calabra coastline. On board we will also have the opportunity to listen to the skipper who will tell us many interesting facts about the places we will visit. Once in Bagnara, we will focus on its marvellous caves, starting with the Grotta di San Sebastiano, then theArco di Aiace, the Grotta delle Sirene and the Grotta delle Rondini.

We then arrive at Cala Janculla, a cove surrounded by high cliffs overlooking the sea and shaded behind by Monte Elia. The cove has a sandy shoreline mixed with pebbles and is washed by pristine waters, populated by flora and fauna protected by the Aspromonte National Park.

A swimming stop is planned precisely at Cala Janculla. We will be able to dive in and wear a mask to admire the exceptional seabed. If we are particularly lucky, we will even have the chance to spot dolphins jumping in the waves.

At the end of the swim, our boat will resume navigation along the Strait of Messina to take us back to our starting point. The tour will last a total of four hours.
