Full description
Beautiful in name and in reality: if they’ve given it that name, there must be a reason!
Get ready to discover Isola Bella on a two-and-a-half-hour boat tour through the most spectacular bays along the Taormina coast.
With iconic views of Mount Etna in the background and striking sea caves, you’ll discover this corner of Sicily in a completely new way!
What we will do
We’ll meet 10 minutes before the scheduled time at the meeting point in Giardini Naxos, in the province of Messina. We’ll meet the skipper, who will welcome us on board.
We’ll set sail, cruising along some of the most picturesque stretches of Sicily’s Ionian coast, with panoramic views of Mount Etna and the crystal-clear sea. We’ll pass by the imposing cliffs of Capo Taormina, one of the most spectacular sections of the entire route.
We will then continue towards Isola Bella, where we will stop to take a dip in the crystal-clear waters and swim in a unique natural setting. Afterwards, we will sail towards the Grotta Azzurra, famous for its blue reflections, continuing along the coast amidst spectacular views.
The route will also take us past Mazzarò Bay and Sirens’ Bay, until we reach the elegant Atlantis Bay.
During the tour, light refreshments will be served on board, including water, soft drinks, prosecco and almond biscuits.
At the end of the excursion, we’ll return to Giardini Naxos, bringing the trip to a close after around two and a half hours.
