The Gaiola is one of the reasons why we decided to start this job. We spent ages studying, observing, cherishing and being touched… by the beach and diving into a crystal-clear water. Yeah…actually we are scuba diving! (this is what we use to say especially during summer when we are not very fit… but still people want us to get our swim on… but we have our diving suit on, so – we are so so sorry – but you need to wait ‘till next year to check our six pack!)
Going to the Gaiola might become something very addictive to you. Its isles and its submerged Park will give you an incredible sight, probably one of the most beautiful you can see in the Mediterranean Sea. It has 9.000 m² of submerged pools, mosaics, flooring, and whole walls from luxurious Roman villas, which belonged to aristocrats… everything under water. A merger of volcanic, biological and historical-archaeological elements in a suggestive and mysterious place. It is no coincidence there are lots of scary legends and stories all around this place, which has been built during nineteenth century.
If you don’t like going scuba diving, you can even go snorkelling, choose the glass-bottomed boat trip, go for a walk; or even plunge, like a cannonball, in that incredible water, sunbath… show off your latest sunglasses you’ve just bought and your body – with confidence! We know your are H-A-N-D-S-O-M-E this year! We feel it…
