The boat excursion from Palermo to Capo Zafferano (via Bay of the French, Mongerbino, Blue Arch) is a wonderful way to discover the beauty of the area around the Sicilian capital. Departure from Villa Igea, a neo-Gothic style structure built at the end of the 19th century and a historic 5-star hotel in Palermo. On request, departure also from La Cala.
We will cross the Gulf of Palermo passing through Porta Marina with destination Bay of the French where we will make our first stop for a swim in the sea. The beach of the French is one of the most evocative beaches of the Palermo coast, located in the Gulf of Mongerbino, within the territory of Santa Flavia and Bagheria. It is a small cove set between the rocks of Capo Zafferano and the seaside village of Aspra. It is a place characterized by a rich Mediterranean vegetation and with a crystalline sea. We will then continue sailing to Capo Mongerbino to see the extraordinary Blue Arch and Napoleon’s Hat (Capo Zafferano is so called by the locals).
Capo Zafferano is the extreme point that encloses, together with Monte Gallo, what is the entire gulf of Palermo and its hinterland. The beauty of Capo Zafferano lies in the possibility of always having one side sheltered from any storm surges. To the west are the famous Three Pools. It is a rocky water hole that also offers a spectacular sunset. Such a beautiful place that someone even installed a giant red heart in it. On the other side, however, there is a pebble beach and, not far away, the beach of Kafara or the hundred steps. To access it, in fact, it is necessary to go down and then go up all these steps. The sea, however, is spectacular. Possible stop for a swim in the sea.
