A thousand different ways to live the sea

Tired of just another run-of-the-mill day at the seaside?

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ALTERNATIVE SEA SPORTS, to do alone or with friends, wake-boarding is for you.
Wake-boarding is an on-trend sport, a combination of water-skiing and snowboarding, usually done on lakes. With Sicilying you will have the chance to experience that same thrill at sea, pulled by a jet ski. No matter if it's your first try or you already know the ropes: trying to perfect manoeuvres, stunts and jumps is exciting for everyone!
CLASSIC FRESHWATER SPORTS like kayaking on the island of Vulcano, or rafting down the Alcantara Gorges are just waiting to give you a taste of excitement and adventure sport in Italy, giving you an original response to the question: 'what is there to do in Sicily?'
WANT TO TRY NEW SPORTS? You can't lose with SUP!
An acronym for Stand Up Paddle, it's a sport that was born in the Australian ocean and has since spread around the world, now a popular sport in Italy. It is a well-rounded sport which has many benefits; a perfect activity for burning calories (up to 1,000 calories per hour if you're in the correct position) and toning abs and buttocks thanks to the controlled movements and need to maintain balance. But it is also beneficial for the mind: moving your body whilst standing on top of the water, looking around and feeling yourself surrounded by nature, all contribute to relaxing your mind and helping you to release all the accumulated stress of daily life. Above all, it's a sport for everyone, including children and the elderly, since it doesn't require any particular athletic preparation: experts affirm that after a few hours of training anyone can learn to stand on the board, and quickly enough you will get good enough to deal with the waves.
ADVENTURES HOLIDAYS BUT ALSO A LOT OF FUN, if you decide to go on a ride with your friends in a banana boat. A long yellow tube which you and your friends must sit astride and keep balanced, as a motorboat pulls you along; this is the alternative way of riding the waves.
Diving and underwater adventure sports in Italy

Sicily, with its rich and varied coastline, surrounded by stunning archipelagos of small satellite islands, is a paradise for diving enthusiasts. Sicilying offers some of the best diving itineraries in Sicily, on a discovery of the most spectacular underwater seabeds of the island.
FOR LOVERS OF DIVING, an unmissable stop is the popular destination the archipelago of the Egadi Islands, one of the great diving paradises of Sicily, and indeed the entire Mediterranean, thanks to its wide variety of environments, plant species and animals. Among the many places to dive, there is above all the famous Camel Rock, “Scoglio del Cammello”, on the island of Marettimo. With the form of a camel, this stunning rock is home to sponges, false coral colonies, orange corals, fan worms, crown urchins, Protula tubularia and octopus dens. It is a rock full of crevices in which many “guests” stay, and where, depending on the time of day, the light creates stunning effects that any budding underwater photographer will want to capture. Staying on the island of Marettimo you'll be able to go and visit San Simone, “Punta Basana”, the caves of Punta Martina, the Cathedral, the Tuna Cave, “Punta Troia”, and much more. On Favignana the best dives are at “Secca del Toro”, “Scoglio Corrente”, “Galeotta”, “isolotto Previto”, the Previto wreck, “secca Fondale” and “Palo degli Spirografi”.
And then at Levanzo you could dive at “Cala Minnola”, “Cala Tramontana” and “Capo Grosso”.
FOR LOVERS OF DIVING AND UNDERWATER EXPLORATIONS, you wonder what there is to do on Sicily? You're on the right island: the seabed is overflowing not only with nature but also with history.
Not to be missed is the “Christ of the Abyss” offshore from Marzamemi (maximum depth 27 metres), the caves and the rocks off the Island of Capo Passero, the Island of the Currents “Isola delle Correnti” (the meeting point of the Ionian and Mediterranean Sea), the Veniero submarine wreck, and many other ship and aircraft wrecks. Finally there is Taormina, not only a famous seaside resort but also a great destination for lovers of diving. With indeed 18 diving sites and the particular shape of this part of the coastline, you have the chance to customize your dive according your experience and training. The depths are home to many burrowing fish such as groupers, sea ravens, conger and moray eels, but also pelagics such as tuna, bonito, snapper and sea eagles; between the fronds of the spectacular coloured sea fans it's not uncommon to see catfish eggs or meet a big lobster!
NATURE AND HISTORY UNDER THE SEA in the natural reserve of Isola Bella, which houses stunning passages and caves and the famous Roman columns of Capo Taormina. On this stretch of coast, a Roman ship sank more than 2,000 years ago with its load of white marble columns. Today the wreck is a most extraordinary archaeological site, seen only by the privileged few able to dive down to explore and admire.
It is also fascinating to see how nature has taken possession of these submerged remains, indeed some moray eels have made their homes in these ancient relics.
Some twenty metres further is the entrance to a cave full of fan worms and hundreds of cave shrimp; the timid moustelles will be spotted only by the most discrete divers. Sport holidays and extreme adventures

ARE YOU A SURF LOVER, OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY FOR THE FIRST TIME THE EXCITEMENT OF RIDING THE WAVES? It's not always easy to find the right beaches, with the perfect waves and the right winds, but Sicilying has found for you the best places in Sicily to practise this sport, extraordinary travel destinations where you can satisfy your passion for surf. The Stagnone Reserve is a very windy spot, which makes it a particularly popular hangout for kite and windsurfing enthusiasts from all corners of Sicily. It's a northerly wind that hits these shores, which in summer ensures tight and steady thermal wind over 15 knots, with flat water perfect for freestyling, while in winter the wind is tricky. Santa Maria del Focallo, a popular summer seaside resort, is a beautiful beach which in 2011 received the blue flag. In the province of Ragusa, the beach has calm waters which are ideal for those wanting to try the sport for the first time.
Sicilying offers courses with selected instructors both at beginners and advanced levels, giving you the possibility to hire all the necessary equipment, making your trip lighter and hassle-free.
DO YOU WANT TO LIVE THE EXPERIENCE OF FLYING? Live a paragliding experience: an unusual way to see Sicily... from the sky!
Expert pilots will accompany you in this unique flying experience, lasting around 20 minutes (but the flights will be longer if weather conditions allow). You will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy the wonderful surroundings and unique panoramas of the Sicilian coast from a very different and unforgettable perspective: during the flight, expanses of green and blue, hills and golden beaches, will take your breath away.
DO YOU WANT INSTEAD TO TRY EXTREME SPORT IN ITALY? Don't miss the chance to go skydiving from 4,000m!
