Myth & Waves: Boat Tour of the Ciclopi Marine Reserve

Experience the wild beauty of the Ionian Coast with an exclusive boat tour through the Ciclopi Islands Marine Protected Area. Departing from the charming pier of Aci Trezza, this tour blends ancient mythology, unique geology, and pure relaxation. As we navigate the deep blue waters, you’ll come face-to-face with the towering basalt columns known as the Faraglioni. Legend says these massive rocks were thrown by the cyclops Polyphemus to stop Ulysses; today, they stand as a stunning natural monument. We will circle the Lachea Island, the largest in the archipelago, where you can admire the rare flora and fauna that call this volcanic soil home. We’ll drop anchor in the most secluded spots, giving you the chance to swim and snorkel among vibrant Mediterranean sea life. To complete your journey, we’ll cruise towards Aci Castello to witness the dramatic sight of the medieval Norman Castle perched atop a cliff of ancient lava. Whether you are a photography enthusiast, a history buff, or simply looking for a relaxing escape, this tour offers a perspective of Sicily that you can only find from the sea.
