Swimming In Sicily

During these gray days of January in the northeastern United States, I dream of summer in Sicily. Photos that I took of places I swam just months ago give me hope that it won’t be too long until I return to them.

There are many different approaches to swimming in Sicily: beaches (both sandy and rocky), off of sea walls (such as in Ortigia), off of natural rock formations (like here, in Bagheria, on Sicily’s north coast), in nature preserves (such as Lo Zingaro in Trapani Province or at Cava Grande in Siracusa Province), in sulphuric springs (like those on Vulcano), right off your boat during an excursion just about anywhere.

Think beyond “beach” when thinking of swimming in Sicily… Because the island offers countless options that we’ll consider for you and your loved ones.
