Cyclops Islands Boat Trip + Lunch

Would you like to taste Sicilian wine and sail along the coasts of Aci Trezza? Combine both plans on the same day by booking this activity that includes a boat trip around the Cyclops Islands and a wine tasting!

Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at Via Ricca in Aci Trezza. From here, we'll walk to the harbour to board the boat that will take us to the Marine Protected Area of the Cyclops Islands.

The boat trip, lasting about two hours, will showcase the beauty of this small Italian archipelago, named after the legend of Ulysses. We'll discuss this myth as we depart from Aci Trezza.

We'll first see the Isola di Lachea, the largest of the Cyclops islands, while discussing the archaeological wealth of the area. Then, we’ll view the Faraglione Grande and Faraglione Piccolo, examining their connections to the eruptions of Etna.

Before returning, we'll visit the Norman castle of Aci Castello from the 7th century and the Ulysses caves, where you have the option to swim.

Once docked, we'll serve a delicious lunch with typical Sicilian products, including arancino di riso catanese, baked onions, and cartocciata alla parmigiana, accompanied by wine and water and a Sicilian dessert of almond paste.

After a total of 3 hours, we'll conclude the activity, returning to the starting point.
