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.

ANCHOR STOCK IN CAPO GROSSO
Hellenistic and Roman remains
This location named “Anchor Stock in Capo Grosso” is also in the area of the sea north of Levanzo. From the dive point at about 10 m from the coast, visitors can see the numerous anchor stocks still lying on the sea floor thanks to the crystal clear water, with no need to follow a pre-defined route.
