Myths & Bays: Full-Day Cruise from Taormina to Acitrezza

Travel along the legendary Sicilian coastline from Taormina to Acitrezza, uncovering volcanic rock formations, marine caves, and panoramic views in a full-day experience steeped in both beauty and mythology.

This route combines Taormina’s natural splendor with the dramatic charm of Acitrezza’s Cyclopean Isles.

Your journey begins in Giardini Naxos, as we sail past the bays of Taormina, including Isola Bella, Atlantis Bay, and the Blue Grotto—each a jewel in Sicily’s coastal crown. As we continue southward, the scenery shifts to the volcanic landscape near Acitrezza, home to the famed Faraglioni rocks said to have been hurled by the Cyclops in Homer’s Odyssey.

Along the way, we’ll stop in select bays to swim, snorkel, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of locations only accessible from the sea. Throughout the day, guests are treated to soft drinks, fresh fruit, a light lunch, and chilled Sicilian spumante, with beach towels provided for added comfort.

This tour is a journey through myth and nature, offering contrasts between lush marine sanctuaries and volcanic rockscapes. It’s perfect for those looking to go beyond Taormina and explore a broader slice of eastern Sicily’s coast.

The ever-changing views, rich folklore, and clear, swimmable waters create a multifaceted experience that lingers long after the tour ends.

With thoughtful service and flexible stops, this is a full-day escape for those who crave a sense of adventure with a touch of timeless wonder.
