1 Week: Sailing cruise from Ragusa to Malta

Sicily and Malta are two islands that are very close but also very different. You will enjoy the charm and the ancient history of Malta, including the Valetta, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, the many museums and important monuments, as well as its bays, which make it one of the most beautiful natural harbours in Europe. In Sicily you will sail along the Syracuse coast and enjoy a breathtaking scenery and you will see nature reserves, such as Porto Ulisse, Vendicari and Calamosche, with crystal blue waters.

Saturday: Boarding at 17:00 at the tourist port of Marina di Ragusa, organising of the accommodation in the cabins, a briefing about living on-board and the itinerary of the cruise. Free evening. Overnight stay on the boat.
Sunday: Departure for Malta, at the time decided by the skipper, who will choose the best time for the crossing.

Free evening.
Monday: You will sail westwards to visit the charming "Blue Grotto", with its fabulously coloured caves and crystal clear sea.
