From the sun-drenched shores of Sicily's Ionian coast, this private half day sailing experience delivers the finest stretch of Mediterranean scenery between Riposto, Giardini Naxos, and Taormina in one of the region's most elegant outings on the water. Beginning with hotel pickup in Taormina, guests board at either Giardini Naxos or Riposto and sail first to the legendary Marine Park of Isola Bella, where the celebrated Blue Grotto dazzles with brilliant, sun-refracting blue waters. Snorkeling equipment on board brings the rich underwater world of corals, sea urchins, and starfish within easy reach. The course continues past Mazzarò and Spisone, the designated stop for a leisurely swim and an elegant onboard aperitif of local cold cuts, cheeses, bread, and Sicilian white wine, before rounding Capo Taormina to the bay of Villagonia, where sweeping views of Mount Etna, Taormina, and Castelmola reward every glance. A private transfer from Giardini Naxos completes the experience, returning guests to their Taormina hotel in comfort.
