Full description

If you can take a swim off the Cyclops Riviera today, you have Ulysses to thank.

Yes, because it is precisely from the wrath of Polyphemus that this small archipelago of islands in front of Aci Castello is said to have been born, as he threw huge rocks at the fleeing Greek hero. What remains is a natural spectacle worthy of a sailing tour!

Set sail from Catania and sail for 4 hours in the company of a skipper: an aperitif on board is included!

What we will do

The appointment is 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Catania (CT). Upon arrival we will be welcomed by the skipper ready to guide us on this sailing tour along the Riviera dei Ciclopi!

Once all the participants have gathered, we will set sail from Catania, skirting the city in a southerly direction, and then turn north to reach the area of Aci Castello and Aci Trezza, admiring the Norman Castle overlooking the sea.

We will then stop in theMarine Area of the Isole dei Ciclopi (Cyclops Islands ) to enjoy a dive off the Faraglioni and enjoy a refreshing aperitif on board consisting of an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink, fresh fruit and assorted snacks.

We will then return to the meeting point. The experience will last about 4 hours in total.
