What we will do
We will meet at Torre Faro, 15 minutes before the departure time. Here we will meet our skipper and board the boat that will take us on this sunset tour.
The excursion will start from the picturesque village of Torre Faro, where the Strait of Messina will offer wonderful landscapes at first glance. We will sail through the waters of the strait until we reach Scilla, jewel of the Costa Viola.
We will continue along Punta Pacì, the Costone tre Croci and the enchanting coastline of Marina Grande, Scilla's main beach, where we will stop for a swim. Here we will be able to swim with a privileged view of the Sotto il Piano neighbourhood, framed by the silhouette of Scilla's Ruffo Castle, and have a toast with prosecco and salty snacks as the sun sets.
The return to Torre Faro will be accompanied by the sky fading into shades of pink, orange and violet, making this a truly magical experience.
The tour will last a total of 1½ hours.
