The walk takes place near the cliffs of Capo Rosso: a magnificent mixture of color between the red rocks and the deep blue of the sea, without forgetting the swimming stops in magical places. Huge porphyry (igneous rock) rocks, sculpted by time, create a unique and enchanting place. Their color intensifies throughout the day and in tune with the sun's rays: pink in places, red or ocher in others. The crystal clear water at the foot of the cliffs contrasts with the flamboyant color of the rock, and offers visitors a dreamlike landscape. Your skipper will show you around the Piana caves, and offer you swimming stops. You will have a lot of fun on this beautiful excursion.
