Detailed itinerary

Rising 133 meters from the sea, it is the tallest sea stack in the Mediterranean and a symbol of the Iglesiente coastline. Named for its resemblance to Rio de Janeiro’s Sugarloaf Mountain, Pan di Zucchero can be reached by dinghy or boat from the stunning cove of Masua. This natural wonder is a top destination for experiential travel, offering thrilling rock climbing routes for expert climbers and breathtaking views from the summit. Its dramatic cliffs hide two sea-level karst caves and face the remarkable mining site of Porto Flavia, where a century-old tunnel carved into the cliff once loaded minerals straight onto ships.
