Itinerary – 3 Hours of Sicilian Wonders
Boarding in Acitrezza – Myth and Sea
Departure from the historic village of Acitrezza, among the famous Faraglioni dei Ciclopi, legendary lava formations immersed in the Marine Protected Area. This is where our experience begins, with a welcome drink and soft music on board.
Sailing to the Norman Castle of Acicastello
We will sail along the volcanic coast until we reach the striking Norman Castle of Aci Castello, a medieval fortress built on a black basalt cliff overlooking the sea. A majestic setting, ideal for spectacular photos and historical tales narrated by our guide.
Ulysses' Caves – Where Myth Takes Shape
We will continue south to the mysterious Ulysses' Caves, natural caverns linked to the legend of the Odyssey. Here, the sea takes on intense hues, and the cliffs shaped by time tell ancient stories. An evocative stop that combines nature and myth.
Ognina – The Ancient Harbor of Catania
Beyond the area of the caves, you will come to the quiet seaside village of Ognina, once a Roman harbor and now an elegant residential area overlooking a small harbor bustling with traditional boats. The perfect place to soak up authentic Sicilian atmosphere.
San Giovanni Li Cuti – Elegance in Lava and Sea
We will then head to San Giovanni Li Cuti, with its iconic black sand beach and typical houses overlooking the sea. The contrast between lava rock and clear water makes this place unique and surprisingly intimate.
Return to Acitrezza with a Swimming Stop and Apéritif in the Marine Reserve
On our return journey, we will stop again in Acitrezza, within the Cyclops Marine Protected Area, for an extended break dedicated to swimming and snorkeling in one of the richest marine ecosystems on the Ionian coast.
Here you will be served an aperitif on board, all in a relaxed, elegant atmosphere completely immersed in nature.
