Sicilians like to be direct. So when it came to naming the tiny islet of Isola Bella – it means ‘Beautiful Island' – there was only ever going to be one option. This cruise from Giardini-Naxos allows you to take in the amazing coastal views – with Mount Etna in the background – en route to Isola Bella.
The pine-clad rocky outcrop that is Isola Bella lingers at the end of a spit of sand and is a nature reserve known for its wildlife both above and below the water. Birds like kingfishers, peregrine falcons and herons call the islet home. When you reach the island, the boat will moor outside the Grotta Azzurra and Grotta del Giorno sea caves for swimming and snorkelling.
After you've had the chance to spot sea urchins, starfish, shrimp and eels among the coral, the boat will transfer you back to the harbour for yet another chance to take in the great coastal scenery.
