About Sicily

Sicily rewards first-timers from the water, where the island's volcanic coastline, marine reserves and island archipelagos unfold in a single morning. A cruise is the easiest way to see several highlights without navigating ferries or winding roads, whether you join the Egadi Islands Boat Tour: Discover Favignana & Levanzo from Trapani or spend a relaxed half-day on the Palermo Boat Tour to Mondello and Capo Gallo Reserve with a Drink. Both are gentle introductions to Sicilian swimming, snorkeling and coastal scenery.
