FILICUDI TRIPS
Boat trip around the island
You can see all the natural marvels of Filicudi: indented coastlines,
amazing grottoes, stacks. We advice to make the boat trips with
"gozzi", typical aeolian boats.
Grotto
of the Bue Marino (Seal)
it is the most beautiful grotto of the island and it is situated
close to Punta Perciato. In the grotto, you can sea amazing lights
effects and suggesting noises. The name of the cave comes from
the noises made by the sea: it sounds like ox roar.
Faraglione
La Canna
close to the Grotto of the Bue Marino, a tall natural crag called
La Canna, rises out of the sea depths to a height of 85 metres.
From here you can see the Zucco Grande and its ten layers of lava.
Scoglio
della fortuna (Cliff of Fortune)
it is a peculiar cliff in which a little basin receives many water
turning to a small natural swimming-pool..
Further trips: little islands of Elephant and Montenassari, whose
outline reminds of a dragon' back.
Underwater
Prawns
Grottoi
I t is one of the best immersions of the island (32 metres depth):
the grotto is full of many fishes and crayfishes. The grotto ends
in the sand at 50 metres depth: on the way going back up to surface,
you can meet big groupers.
Six-meters
shallow
another amazing diving. The shallow is located in the northern
part of Filicudi, between the cliff of Gianfante and the Sciara.
A wonderful monolithic rising from 40 metres to 6 metres forms
the white spot of the top of the shallow.
Excursions

village of Capo Graziano
