Sicily by boat turns Taormina into a movie set. I like the unlimited swimming stops and the included snorkeling equipment, so you’re not stuck just sightseeing from deck. The one real catch is that the tour depends on good weather,…
Scalawhites and sea swims beat the sand. This 3.5-hour boat tour along Agrigento’s coast puts Scala dei Turchi close enough for a real swim, not just a photo stop. I like that you’re anchored just about 100 meters from the…
