About Portopalo di Capo Passero
Portopalo di Capo Passero sits at Sicily's southernmost tip, where the Ionian Sea meets the Sea of Sicily and centuries of Greek, Roman, Arab and Norman passage left their mark on the coastline. Cruising these waters is the most direct way to read that history: the private Private Boat Tour: Ionian Sea to Sea of Sicily, Cape Passero & Tafuri Castle traces the cape and its coastal fortress, while the Private Boat Tour to Vendicari and Capopassero from Marzamemi pairs open-sea views with the nature reserve and its ruined tonnara.

Frequently asked questions
Portopalo marks the meeting point of the Ionian and Sicilian seas, and its coast is layered with evidence of Greek, Roman, Arab and Norman presence. A boat tour lets you see Cape Passero, the Tafuri Castle and the old tuna-fishing structures at Vendicari from the water, the way traders and fishermen once approached them.
