Browsed itineraries of Sicily and discover the wonders above and below the water of a timeless island
Punta Sottile
From the ridge that extends from the emerged profile of Punta Sottile, go down the steep wall to a depth of 23 m. After encountering an isolated mass of rocks, you will pass by a channel with a detritus seabed before you come to another large boulder. To the south, the seabed drops rapidly to a depth of 25 m. Leaving the boulder behind, you will come to a slightly sloping rocky area surrounded by sandy expanses, which gradually ascends in a series of ravines.
