Passing along Pelara Bay, we will head towards the renowned Sorgeto, a true open-air thermal park that welcomes bathers and tourists all year round. In this suggestive crescent-shaped cove surrounded by vertical rock walls, thethermal water flows directly into the sea, with temperatures reaching up to 90°.
A light lunch will be served on board with typical local products such as seasonal bruschetta, water and soft drinks. On request, however, it is also possible to have alcoholic beverages.
