What to do in Sicily?
Sicily is an ideal tourist destination for lovers of the ocean. Rent a boat in Sicily and easily reach beaches and coves only accessible by sea. Visit curious ruins – the Valley of the Temples and the Greek Theatre of Taormina or explore the magnificence of Mount Etna, an active volcano. A boat hire in Sicily is a beautiful way to enjoy the island.
Nightlife ranges from eating your way through the Palermo street markets to live performances at Italy's largest opera house, Teatro Massimo. Sicilian cities are very different and offer attractions for all tastes. In their surroundings, you can find natural wonders that still remain intact today.
We suggest you visit Palermo with its gothic architecture and baroque basilicas, as well as the cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale that are declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Taormina is located on a hill 200 metres above sea level and is the destination of the international Jet Set during the summer months.
Mondello is regarded by many people as the seaside resort of Palermo's inhabitants, characterized by splendid villas that surround the fishing village. Sailing Sicily in charters is the perfect way to enjoy the view of the seaside resorts and villas and maybe even fish.
From Milazzo, you can sail with your Sicily boat charter to the Aeolian Islands, and if you are sailing you can admire beautiful white sandy beaches overlooking the gulf. What is stopping you from your Sicily boat hire?
Other destinations not to be missed during your boat holiday are Stromboli (the black island), the beautiful Panarea and Cefalù, which are all characterized by charming bays where you can anchor. Let's not forget, of course, the Egadi and Favignana Islands, which are home to dreamlike and undisturbed landscapes.
Of course, we must also remember the beautiful architecture of Syracuse and the Naxos Gardens, near Messina, where you can dive and swim in crystal clear waters directly from your Sicily boat rental.
Make your trip unforgettable and visit the Cyclops beach near Aci Trezza, a perfect place to stop and look at the stars at night with your boat charter in Sicily. In front of the bay, there are five basalt stacks which, as the legend goes, are the boulders thrown by Polyphemus towards Ulysses' ship.
