Daily excursion to discover Mondello and the Palermo coast.

Imagine one of the most beautiful natural scenarios in Sicily, the blue sea, the clear and crystalline waters, the Mediterranean scrub that seems to dive into the sea, stories of tuna fisheries and tonnaroti, endless swimming stops, snorkelling with thousands of little fish, the visit of magical caves, traditional Palermo cuisine and much more. Satisfied?

If all this isn't enough for you, MareandMore will have much more to offer you. The tour of Palermo, Mondello and Capo Gallo Nature Reserve will start at 10.00 from the Cala to the port of Palermo and will end at approximately 18.00.

Guests will also have the opportunity to visit Mondello where they will dock for a break.
