Full description
Treat yourself to a tour on a comfortable motor boat at your complete disposal for half a day. Together with the skipper, you can choose the most beautiful stops along the Palinuro coastline, from Cala Marinedda to the Ficocella Beach.
According to your chosen itinerary, you will be able to swim in the Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto), dive near the Faraglione di Capo Palinuro (Palinuro Cape ), or swim from the boat to the Grotta Argento (Silver Grotto) and the Grotta del Sangue (Blood Grotto).
To make the tour even more unforgettable, there will be a tasty aperitif on board based on typical Cilento products and prosecco.
What we will do
We will meet at the port of Palinuro, where our boat and skipper will be waiting for us. We will sail along the coast, characterised by an unspoilt and evocative landscape, where nature and myth intertwine to enchant visitors.
Thanks to the private tour formula, we will be able to decide our stops together with the skipper. We will be able to stop at Cala Marinedda, a point on the coast immediately after the port of Palinuro only accessible by boat. And then again at the Spiaggia della Ficocella (Ficocella Beach ) and the Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto), whose colour is made so distinctive by a phenomenon of light refraction.
If they are among the chosen stops, we can dive off the boat to reach two characteristic rocky cavities: the Grotta Argento and the Grotta del Sangue. The latter owes its name to the walls that dye the sea water a reddish colour reminiscent of blood. Other possible destinations include the Faraglione di Capo Palinuro, the Grotta delle Ossa or theArco Naturale, symbol of Palinuro.
To brighten up our excursion, we will enjoy a tasty aperitif of local products (included) such as seafood salad, marinated anchovies, "melanzane 'nghiappate" and ciambotta, accompanied by water and a glass of prosecco.
At the end of our excursion we will return to the port of Palinuro. The tour will last a total of 4 hours.
