The caves of Marettimo, circumnavigation of the island and unforgettable baths

Describe a magnificence of nature like the rocky coast and caves of Marettimo is daunting task, so I'll just share with you what I experienced on the first day that I was for the first time in Marettimo, This beautiful island that together with her sisters and Formica Favignana and Levanzo and Maraone brothers are part of the Marine Protected largest in the Mediterranean or the Egadi Islands.

Recommended by a friend I contacted Big Game nautical services and not just arrived on the Island, or to 9.40 by hydrofoil from Trapani, I went in floating dock in front of the boarding point where waiting for me on the hull guides, along with other travelers, to leave for this hike of the entire coast of Marettimo and its spectacular caves at the water's edge.

The hull is comfortable to keep all sitting, simple but scenic, not the usual boat carrying dozens of people where to move to take a picture you have to step on their feet and to fight to find a place to sit.

It comes from Scalo Nuovo and head off the coast to Punta Troia, immediately we face the country, then we go off the Scalo Vecchio, used as a landing place for fishing boats, and the way to Punta Troia.

In this stretch of coast insist attractive caves that thanks to the agility of the vehicle and the skill of the commander we could visit right into. The rocks come to the overhanging the sea, presenting breathtaking scenery, the three peaks of Maritime are all there to guard this spectacular theater of nature: Pizzo Campana, then Pizzo Craparo both on 600 mt and the highest island, Pizzo Falcone that comes to 686 mt slm.

The first cave we visit it right into the Cave of the Camel so called because a rock at the entrance of the cave is identical to the head of a camel ! True and… look at yourself !

Early homonymous big rock, It is an immense cave, large entrance, inside you can easily navigate with the hull our (ma i barges remain outside :-)) ) and the captain makes us scour meter by meter the inside of the beautiful cave. The crystal clear mirror is TALMtransparent body that you can see the bottom without a mask… unbelievable !

Here is the gallery

After the Cave of the Camel turn the bow of the hull towards Punta Troia to doppiarla and visit the Cave of the Thunder just below the promontory, to continue the discovery of the caves go on: Punta Troia and Cave of Thunder
