Our vehicles in fact allow you to make stops for bathing in the beaches where the sea is blue and crystalline. (this certainly does not happen with much larger boats, which are forced to remain outside the beaches).

- Grotta dell'amore, located near Capo Taormina, surprises with its incredible beauty. It is a cave dug into the rock with a truly particular characteristic: its heart shape.
