Description

Begin your adventure by meeting your captain on board your boat, decked out with three double cabins, a bathroom with a shower, an outside shower, a kitchen, and a refrigerator. Set sail to Ulysses’ Caves. Be amazed by the gorgeous underwater scenery of vibrant blues and greens as you sail past these breathtaking lava-formed caves. Next, sail toward Acitrezza, and pass under the medieval castle of Acicastello. Enjoy a spectacular view of the castle by the sea. Marvel at the characteristic pillow lavas found under the castle due to the rapid cooling of submarine eruptions.   Once you reach Acitrezza, see a marine reserve dubbed 'The Cyclopean Isles,” which is only accessible by pedal boat (for ax extra charge).. Reach Lachea Island, the heart of the reserve, and enjoy the view of the seabed by snorkeling (equipment provided by us). If the pedal boat isn't available or you prefer not to use it, visit the charming little village of Acitrezza for one hour. When you arrive back on board, eat a delicious traditional lunch based on pani cunzatu (bread stuffed with typical Sicilian products, usually tuna, tomato, mozzarella and olives) and white wine DOC. It is possible to accomodate a vegetarian, vegan or gluten free menu. Finally, during your return trip, enjoy the freshness of seasonal fruits and take a short stop for another quick swim before arriving back in Catania at around 6:00 PM.
