Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
Galeotta 2
The island dive continues...
Our itinerary begins on a seabed of rock at a depth of 12 m. Skirting along the cliff, you will find yourself admiring an expanse of sea grass on one side, and numerous gorges on the other. At 22 m you will find a landslide of boulders with small holes covered with sciaphilic vegetation. Continuing down to 25 m, you will encounter two grottoes: the first has a wide opening and a sandy bottom, while the second, smaller one features encrusting sponges on the walls. In addition to the grottoes, you will also notice a channel on the right; climbing back towards the surface you will encounter a ridge of rock with crevices to be explored.
