Setting sail from Giardini Naxos, founded in 734 B.C. as the most ancient Greek colony in all of Sicily, this exclusive private full day boat tour traces the island's most spectacular Ionian coastline in complete privacy and comfort. Hotel pickup in Taormina brings guests to the departure point before the vessel charts a course to the legendary Marine Park of Isola Bella, where the celebrated Blue Grotto glows a brilliant, ethereal blue as morning sunlight refracts through the sea. Snorkeling equipment on board invites exploration of an extraordinary underwater world of sea urchins, starfish, and vivid corals. The voyage continues to Mazzarò and Spisone for a second swim stop and a generous onboard lunch of local cold cuts, cheeses, seasonal fruit, and Sicilian white wine. Rounding Capo Taormina, the bay of Villagonia opens onto an incomparable panorama of Mount Etna, Taormina, and Castelmola. An onboard aperitif brings this sun-filled Sicilian day to a close.
