Scopri Scilla con un tour in barca
Al Porto di Scilla saliamo a bordo su una barca e salpiamo, iniziando con il racconto delle feluche che tutt’oggi praticano la pesca del pesce spada nelle acque della Costa Viola e tante altre storie e aneddoti che solo noi, nati e cresciuti qui ti possiamo raccontare. Costeggiamo lo Scoglio di Ulisse, il Castello Ruffo di Scilla, il quartiere "sutta u chianu", che osservato dal mare prende la forma di un presepe. Si prosegue costeggiando Marina Grande (spiaggia principale di Scilla), il Costone Tre Croci e Capo Pacì dove ammiriamo le Villette costruite sulla roccia che si affacciano sulle acque dello Stretto di Messina. Torniamo indietro per andare verso Chianalea, quartiere di pescatori, spesso chiamato la piccola Venezia del Sud, si costeggia il borgo passando vicino alle case bagnate dal mare. Ti farò vedere la finestra da dove pescavo quando ero bambino. Continuiamo fino alla spiaggia dell’oliveto e dopo qualche minuto di navigazione si arriva alla spiaggia di Favazzina dove facciamo una sosta di circa 25 min per nuotare nelle acque cristalline, dopodiché rientriamo al Porto di Scilla. Se avremmo fortuna, la natura ci potrebbe far vedere qualche delfino o manta!

Discovering Etna with a local guide
A full immersion in the highest active volcano in Europe, which for millennia has fascinated philosophers, artists, scientists and travelers from all over the world. During the experience, crossing Etna villages with their characteristic black "basalt" color and the luxuriant Etna countryside, we will reach the starting point of our trekking route. It will be surprising to walk through dense forests of birch, pine or beech, and then suddenly cross what the locals know as "Sciara", the desolately fascinating volcanic desert. We will admire all the beauty and contradictions of this ever-changing volcano: between extinct craters, now barren and now luxuriant landscapes, with a "heroic" flora that has adapted to extreme conditions. During about 4h trekking route, we will discover several kinds of volcanic formations and we will have a picnic in the woods during which I will offer you a glass of Etna wine. It will be an authentic experience, during which I will tell you about our "Muntagna", from the perspective of those who have always lived it from its slopes. I will tell you about geological history, flora and fauna. I will also tell you about my land from a historical, anthropological, linguistic and enogastronomic point of view. But above all I will try to convey the visceral bond that has existed for three millennia between the volcanic earth and its people
