"Went scorching in the water and it was Amazing! We were able to park very easily and spent at least an hour snorkeling around the huge rock stacks seing so much marine life including thousands of fish and even an octopus. If you love the ocean this is a must do spot in scilly."

"Aci Trezza, tipico borgo siciliano dal sapore antico, frazione di Aci Castello (Catania). Dal porto la possibilità di visitare i faraglioni dei Ciclopi e di fare un bagno in acque cristalline. Merita una visita e una passeggiata sul lungomare"

"Uno dei posti più belli che abbiamo visto e la granita spettacolare, da premio Nobel poi con quella vista faceva tutto più scenografico. Aci Trezza e Aci Castello, mare trasparente ma meglio scendere con le scarpe da scogli perché ci sono le pietre .Nuotare con lo i Faraglioni dei Ciclopi sullo sfondo è stato straordinario ! Metto delle foto e video ma non so se riuscirò a renderle giustizia"
