Aci Trezza Sailboat Tour from Catania with Aperitif
Set sail from Catania to the charming fishing village of Aci Trezza on this scenic boat tour along Sicily's Ionian coast. You'll cruise past dramatic volcanic rock formations that rise from the turquoise waters, created by ancient lava flows from Mount Etna. The tour combines swimming, snorkelling, and sightseeing with a traditional Italian aperitif served on board.
Your sailboat glides along the coastline towards the famous Faraglioni rocks of Aci Trezza, where Giovanni Verga set his novel "I Malavoglia". You'll stop at a protected marine area perfect for swimming and snorkelling in crystal-clear waters teeming with Mediterranean sea life. The Castle of Acicastello, perched dramatically on its lava rock outcrop, provides a striking backdrop as you explore the coast from the water.
