Description
Discover the Cyclops Riviera on a boat tour from Catania to Acitrezza. Admire Ulysses’ Caves and enjoy a delicious lunch on board.
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 (included in the price). Reach Lachea Island, the heart of the reserve, and enjoy the view of the seabed by snorkeling (equipment provided by us). Please note that usually the pedal boat is available only during summer time from June to September.
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: appetizer, first fish course (may vary depending on the availability of the catch of the day), water 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.
