On a private boat with a skipper, you will admire all the natural beauty of the coast between Avola and Portopalo di Capopassero, dive with a snorkelling mask to discover the submerged Roman Columns, and visit the picturesque village of Marzamemi.
During the cruise you will have the chance to admire enchanting beaches, majestic sea cliffs, nature reserves and castles. Like the Tafuri Castle, where you will enjoy a typical aperitif on board.
An unforgettable excursion to spend 5 and a half hours among sun, sea, relaxation and unspoilt beauty.
What we will do
We will meet in Avola at 8.45 a.m., at the place indicated during the booking process. We will be welcomed by our skipper who will take us aboard the boat, which is now for our exclusive use. After introductions, we will set sail immediately to discover the natural beauty of this paradisiacal corner of Sicily.
Among the various stops we will admire the Calabernando beach, the wide inlet of the Gulf of Noto, the beauty of the Vendicari reserve (Eloro, Marianelli, Pizzura, Calamosche) and San Lorenzo.
During the excursion we will make several bathing stops, in locations that we can choose during navigation. One will be near Marzamemi, where we will dive, with a snorkelling kit, to admire the famous submerged Roman Columns.
We will then stop in Marzamemi for 40 minutes to visit the picturesque village or relax on the beach.
On our return on board we will resume sailing in the direction of the beautiful Tafuri Castle, which stands on a cliff above the sea. Here we will be able to enjoy a typical local aperitif with arancino siciliano, focaccine, water and prosecco.
