Overview

In just an hour you can visit the most interesting places in the old town and in the Umbertino village. Our slogan is "the best way to visit the city of two seas". In fact, it often happens that you are just passing through our capital, you stop only for a few hours, a fleeting meal and you are disappointed to have noticed a beautiful city but that for reasons of time we did not linger as it would have deserved because the territory is quite extensive, what better opportunity then to speed up everything by spending a pleasant hour letting yourself be guided aboard a nice Calessino bee? Seeing is believing.
