Boat Trip to the Cyclops Islands Marine Protected Area

The Riviera of the Cyclops is a unique stretch of coastline, known for its history and legends, and named after the Homeric Odyssey. If you want to discover the incredible views and natural beauty of the coast, join us on this boat tour in the Cyclops Islands Protected Marine Area. We depart from the port of Aci Trezza and head south. You will get a close-up view of the island of Lachea, the largest in the archipelago, and its three stacks. We continue alongside the towering Faraglioni, toward the Norman Castle of Aci Castello, built on a basaltic promontory overlooking the sea. We will then stop in front of the Ulysses Caves for a swim. While we refresh ourselves with drinks, we reach the Prince's House. After admiring this elegant palace built facing the sea by Prince Luigi Riggio, we will return to the harbour of Aci Trezza.
