What we will do
We will meet Walter, our skipper, in Trapani at around 9am. We will then set sail at 9.15am and head towards Marettimo, the wildest of the Egadi Islands.
We will begin our visit to the caves of Marettimo by starting at the Grotta del Cammello, whose name derives from the shape of the rock that can be seen near the opening. We will then reach the Grotta del Tuono (Thunder Cave), where the waves of the sea crashing inside the cavity generate a sound that sounds just like the sound you hear when a storm is brewing. We will then reach the Grotta della Pipa.
We will make an initial stop for 15 to 20 minutes at the Lebanon Beach, known for its beautiful seabed. We will then resume sailing until we reach Cala Bianca, one of Marettimo's most suggestive coves, where small fish will swim close by. Towards the end of the morning we will also enjoy a delicious aperitif with spritz, chips and peanuts.
We will then continue on to discover the Grotta Perciata, the Grotta della Ficaredda, the Grotta del Presepe, and the Grotta della Palma. Last but not least, we will reach the special Grottine degli innamorati, small caves inside which we can also swim through small tunnels.
We will visit the Grotta della Bombarda (Bombard's Cave), and make a final stop at the Finocchio Marino for another dip before returning. Return to port in Trapani is scheduled for 18:00.
