BOAT & FISHING TRIPS

Sicily has a great variety of beautiful coastline; from Catania up to Acireale the beaches are formed from volcanic lava, from Acireale to Messina it’s pebbly, whereas south to Syracuse, it’s fine sand. There’s

a wide choice of free public beaches, but if you prefer the comfort of sun beds, parasols and a variety of catering services on the beach, Taormina has a selection of fee-paying beach clubs with good facilities. A great way to explore the coastline is on a boat trip: view l’Isola Bella and the Blue Grotto in Taormina, the Cyclops Riviera at Acitrezza, islets, bays and coves. From the boat you can swim in crystal clear waters or just relax and worship the sun from the deck with a cold drink. A fishing trip would be an additional fun activity.


SNORKELING & SCUBA DIVING

The Mediterranean has a rich marine life and offers wonderful opportunities for snorkeling and scuba diving. One of the most beautiful places to visit is the marine reserve of Isola Bella on the coast of Taormina where many archaeological relics have been found and the Island of the Cyclops at Acitrezza. An expert marine biologist with a good knowledge of English will guide you when snorkeling, whilst for scuba diving you could join a diving centre to advice you on the diving package which suits you best and have the chance to visit the Blue Grotto, the Roman Columns, the Devil’s Canyon and the Greek Temple.



SAILING TRIPS TO THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS

Sailing in the Aeolian archipelago is one of the Mediterranean's most fascinating trips. These beautiful islands have interesting geophysical characteristics, in fact every one of the seven islands, born from

volcanic eruptions, is distinct from one to the other. Each island offers

a wealth of history, stunning views, beaches, mountains ideal for hiking, cycling pathways, a delicious cuisine and the ‘Malvasia’ sweet dessert

wine. The crew would serve a lunch of typical dishes on board while

you will be swimming and snorkeling in the clear blue waters. Then

again, to immerse yourselves in the distinct atmosphere, sense of

hospitality and charm of each island and view the eruption of

Stromboli by night, we could arrange for you to stay a night on board

or in one of the islands’ hotels or villas. Helicopter sight-seeing flights

and transfer can be organized from Sicily to the Islands
