    Ficocella Beach (pass by)

    We will start the tour from Ficocella Beach, so called due to the characteristic presence of fig plants. This beach is known for the distinction between the "men's ficocella" and the "women's ficocella." During the visit, we will observe these two areas and explain the origins of this curious subdivision, which has its roots in local traditions and historical seaside practices of the area.

    Grotta Azzurra - Escursione in barca

    We will visit the five most extreme capes of Capo Palinuro, along the coast characterized by the presence of several Aragonese towers. In particular, we will observe Punta Fortino, used in the past as a hideout for weapons and food, and Punta Quaglia, known for the passage of quails. Furthermore, we will visit the Blue Grotto, the largest in Europe, which owes its fame to the light refraction effect generated by an underwater tunnel. This phenomenon creates spectacular plays of blue light inside the cave, making it a one-of-a-kind natural wonder.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Boat experience in the crystal clear waters of Cilento?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
