Isolotto e Anfore combines two fascinating elements on the Cyclops Coast near Catania — a small volcanic islet and ancient amphorae scattered on the seabed from centuries-old shipping routes. The rocky reef around the islet hosts vibrant Mediterranean marine life, while the amphora fragments provide a tangible connection to Sicily's ancient maritime history. Schools of bream and salema cruise over the archaeological remains, and octopus have claimed several amphorae as dens. A beginner-accessible dive that beautifully merges natural beauty with underwater archaeology in volcanic Sicilian waters.
