According to Victor Berard, a writer and scholar of Homer, Capo d'Orso is the only place in the Mediterranean identifiable with the 'land of the Lestrigoni', cannibalistic giants protagonists of the tenth book of the Odyssey, who inflicted serious losses and forced Ulysses into a desperate flight.

Cala dell’Amore welcomes you with its intimate and suggestive beauty for a stop of about 60 minutes in one of the smallest coves of the Island of Spargi. In the bay, reserved exclusively for Virginia customers, you can swim, snorkel or indulge in total relaxation, in a nature that speaks only of peace and authenticity.

Panoramic visit of the wonderful Pink Beach located on the island of Budelli. The beach falls within Zone A (full protection) of the La Maddalena Archipelago national park and since 1994 (the year the park was established) access, transit, parking and bathing have been prohibited. Navigation alone is possible as long as it is slow moving and up to the edge of the buoys which are located approximately 70 meters from the shore closing the bay.

5

The second stop takes you to the iconic Natural Pools, defined as the heart of the Archipelago, enclosed between Razzoli, Santa Maria and Budelli. During the stop you will have 90 minutes to swim in the turquoise waters, relax in the sun and explore the surrounding nature. If you are looking for an even more exclusive experience, with the mini tour in a dinghy you can discover hidden corners, accessible only to small boats. Remember: the stop is a moment for you, to customize according to your wishes. You will choose how to best experience this natural paradise.
