Acitrezza
2 hours
Sailing boat excursion in the name of nature, relaxation, sea and basic sailing notions. Appointment at 10:00 at the port of Catania. Accompanied by the silence of the wind, we hoist the sails and sail along the Catanese coast where we will meet the famous "Ulysses' Caves" as a first stop, continuing the navigation you can admire the small seaside village of Ognina and after a couple of miles we will stop in Acicastello where it will be possible to admire the Norman Castle from a privileged perspective. Loads from navigation and after about 1 hour you are ready for the first dives into the sea. Acitrezza will be our final stop that will frame our day and once in the bay between sup rides, snorkeling, diving and swimming, you are ready for a lunch on board. In the afternoon you can relax and continue to enjoy the sun and sea and then return to the port of departure at 18:00 and with a little luck the dolphins will also accompany us in this fantastic experience.
