What to expect

We will also discover together the point where a Roman ship sank many centuries ago losing its precious cargo : five mighty monolithic columns in cipollino marble 9 meters high which can still be found lying on the seabed just 4 and a half meters deep. It will be possible to admire them by practicing a simple snorkeling activity (optional: observation activity of the underwater world, carried out by swimming on the surface of the sea, which does not require special licenses or equipment, only mask, fins and snorkel) in complete safety even for children . On days of calm sea and clear water the columns are even visible from the surface and can be admired directly from the boat!
