What we will do
The rendezvous is at the port of Tropea, where the skipper will welcome us and we will board the dinghy. Having formed the group, we will set off for Capo Vaticano.
We will sail along Tropea, admiring its beauty from the perspective of the sea. Afterwards, we will make an initial stop under the church of Santa Maria dell'Isola. Continuing our navigation, we will visit the fascinating Blue Grotto, famous for its crystal-clear water inside.
We will reach then Formicoli, also called "Porto Herculis", an ancient submerged Roman port that we can visit with mask and flippers. The next stop will be the promontory of Capo Vaticano, where we will be able to admire the sheer lighthouse and the wonderful white beaches called 'Praia i Focu', where visits are only allowed by boat.
We will make onelast stop at the Riaci Bay, where we will be able to dive from the dinghy for a refreshing swim and some snorkelling. Back on board, we will find a small aperitif with prosecco or soft drinks waiting for us, which we will enjoy on the way back to the port of Tropea.
