Since the weather report still shows high winds from the North, we decide to wait another day to go through the infamous Strait of Messina. Out comes the dinghy for a day of exploration. Heading North around Capo Taormina it gets a bit choppy but we persevere. There are a lot of “excursion boats” out so we just follow one to see where they are going. We pass many crowded beaches and guess what…we end up at the Grotta Azzura! Then to our amazement one of the excursion boat captains waves us in in front of him and we are in The Blue Grotto…Wow. I didn’t get the greatest photos as you are kind of rushed in and rushed out but it was Great! So even though this isn’t the infamous Blue Grotto on the Island of Capri (that I have tried to get to 3 times now), I think this was a much more personalized experience…Thank you Sicily!
Next, we head to Naxos town and have lunch of Veal in Lemon Sauce and a Calzone. We are walking through town and find dinner as well, wood-fired roasted chicken…can’t wait!
The beaches are too crowded for our taste BUT LOOK, they even offer “Baby Parking”????
