Full description
Set sail to discover one of Sicily's most beautiful coastlines, the Riviera dei Ciclopi: wonderful places, rich in history, myths and natural monuments. On this mini cruise on a private boat you will have the opportunity to experience a magical adventure to share with those you love.
It will be fascinating to visit the Caves of Ulysses and the Faraglioni of Aci Trezza, formed according to legend from the rocks thrown byPolyphemus during the hero Ulysses' escape. You'll admire theancient manor house of Aci Castello and you'll drive to the village of Aci Trezza and the Santa Maria La Scala waterfalls.
On board you will be so pampered that you won't want to go ashore!
What we will do
The appointment is in Catania, where I will be waiting for you at 9.30 am. You will be taken on a beautiful boat, structured on two levels, with which we will set off together to discover one of the most beautiful areas of Sicily, the Riviera dei Ciclopi.
The tour will begin by visiting the legendary Ulysses Caves, of which there are ten, and during the stops we will dive into the sea and snorkel admiring colourful fish and starfish.
From here, we will move on to Aci Castello, perched on a basaltic cliff on the eastern coast of Sicily, to admire the Faraglioni of Aci Trezza. In this marvellous setting, we will enjoy a cool and appetising aperitif while listening to music: a moment of perfect relaxation.
The tour will continue by visiting Lachea Island, located right in the Cyclops archipelago, and the beautiful Piscina di Venere, where we will stop for a nice swim. If you wish, I will take you as far as the village of Aci Trezza: here we can also disembark for a walking tour of the village.
We will also stop at Cala Paradiso with its peculiar beach and its small restaurants located on stilts. For an unforgettable lunch, all you have to do is choose one! After lunch, the day on board will continue with fun, water games, karaoke, and relaxation on mats.
Last but not least will be a stop at the Santa Maria La Scala waterfalls, another scenic wonder featuring a river that flows into the sea. Please note that the tour is entirely customisable: I am here to fulfil your every wish!
Return to Catania is scheduled for around 16.30. The mini cruise will last a total of 7 hours.
