Leg 2

Sunday

The adventure begins!! For those who want a guided excursion to the highest volcano in Europe to admire the last lava flow up close with expert guides (highly recommended experience),

for those who do not want to sail Riposto Taormina with swimming, lunch and return afternoon to the port, dinner and overnight stay.

Leg 3

Monday

We cast off the moorings to head full sail towards Syracuse passing through the bay of Brucoli where we will stop for swimming and lunch, late afternoon arrival in Ortigia in Syracuse, visit of the island, characteristic historic center of Syracuse where you can perceive centuries of history, art and culture. In fact, it is enough to walk through the streets of Ortigia to appreciate what it has to offer including gardens, squares, baroque palaces and the splendid Arethusa Fountain; continuing through the small streets, the gaze focuses on the characteristic views and then, suddenly, opens onto the large square where the majestic Cathedral of Syracuse stands, once the temple dedicated to Athena, one of the most beautiful examples of Sicilian Baroque. But there are so many things to see.

At sunset the island magically turns red and the walk begins in the many alleys full of shops and typical clubs with live music until late in the evening.

We set sail in the direction of Marzamemi, along the way you can admire the marine reserve of Plemmiro, Ognina di Siracusa and the nature reserve of Vendicari, lunch and baths, late afternoon arrival at the port of Marzamemi visit of the seaside village once inhabited by local fishermen today a tourist destination in the extreme south of Sicily.

Departure for Portopalo, the most extreme place in southern Europe, relaxation and swimming in the spectacular Caribbean sea. Late afternoon return to Ortigia (Syracuse), dinner and overnight stay.

Thursday

Let's set sail! Direction Catania, sailing for about 27 miles with a stop for swimming and lunch in Brucoli, late afternoon arrival at the port of Catania, aperitif and getting ready to visit the center of Catania rich in history, culture and nightlife. If hunger is felt, there is certainly no shortage of typical Sicilian trattorias.
