Description

Discover the unique beauty of the Taormina coast on this boat tour from Giardini Naxos. Enjoy a tasty aperitif, stop to swim in the sea, and explore bays, coves, caves, and the wonderful Isola Bella. Hop on board in the Port of Giardini Naxos and set sail toward the Capo Taormina Promontory, sailing across the Giardini Naxos bay. Before arriving at the Capo Taormina, meet the Lover's Grotto. The Lovers' Grotto is about 25 meters deep and set amid the southern greenery of the promontory. Continue towards the Marine Protected Area of Isola Bella. Sailing under the promontory, admire the namesake hotel. As you sail towards the Marine Protected Area of Isola Bella, encounter the prickly Pearl rock, an imposing sea stack covered with the famous Sicilian fruit, which grows spontaneously above it. The Isola Bella, also called 'The Pearl of the Mediterranean Sea,' has a fascinating history and a natural environment of unique and exotic flora and fauna. The waters are crystal-clear and rich in colorful and extraordinary fish fauna. Plunge into the sea for a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waters. Once you get out of the water, be greeted with a pleasant aperitif with Prosecco wine, soft drinks, bottled water, snacks, and Sicilian almond pastries. Then, explore the Blue Grotto. Experience the magic of its blue and turquoise colors and reflections. Continue to the bay of Mazzarò and the bay of Sirene. Breeze by the elephant-shaped rock on the way back to the Port of Giardini Naxos. Admire Mount Taurus and the cities of Taormina and Castelmola from the sea, an enchanting perspective. From the bays, enjoy the wonderful view of Mount Etna, smoking and often erupting.
