Ideas for Sicily

Boating in Sicily

Sicily combines volcanic islands, rocky coves and long stretches of open coast. Popular boat trips head to the Aeolian Islands in the north-east, the Egadi Islands off Trapani or along the cliffs near Taormina and San Vito Lo Capo.

Where to go by boat

  • Aeolian Islands

    Volcanic archipelago with Lipari, Vulcano, Panarea and active Stromboli.

  • Egadi Islands

    Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo, in a large marine protected area.

  • Zingaro Nature Reserve

    Undeveloped coast of pebble coves between Scopello and San Vito Lo Capo.

  • Isola Bella

    Tiny island linked to the shore by a sandbar, below Taormina.

Tip: In the Egadi marine protected area some zones are closed to navigation and anchoring, so check the zoning before you go, and watch for strong winds in the channels between the islands.
