Departure from Marina Villa Igiea
Our journey begins at the dock of Marina Villa Igiea, next to the historic residence of the Florio family, which we will admire from the sea.
Queen's Cave
Just a few metres from the Villa lies the evocative Queen's Cave, a place steeped in history and mystery. Legend has it that Queen Caroline of Austria loved to relax in a rock-carved pool, surrounded by a breathtaking view. The cave’s natural openings frame the sea with spectacular plays of light, creating a unique atmosphere. Here, we'll enjoy our first refreshing swim.
Sailing along the Addaura coast and Mondello Bay
We will continue along the coast of the Addaura Reserve, with its towering cliffs plunging into the sea, until we reach the stunning Mondello Bay. We’ll stop here for a revitalising swim, accompanied by fresh seasonal fruit and refreshing drinks.
Capo Gallo Nature Reserve and Grotta dell’Olio
The final stop on our tour is the spectacular Grotta dell’Olio, a true hidden gem within the Capo Gallo Nature Reserve. Part of its entrance is submerged, making it accessible only by swimming or canoe. Inside, the cave opens up into a magnificent dome over 10 metres high, where a beam of natural light illuminates the crystal-clear water with incredible blue reflections. The silence and interplay of light create a magical atmosphere, offering an unforgettable experience. We’ll enjoy one last swim here before heading back to the port.
