Squali (sharks) come out at night when there's no moon. Linea Blu's divers go to film this special event off the coast of Sicily.

Antonio's description of Maratea, with its restaurants offering fresh local fish, fresh mozzarella, local meat, along one of the most beautiful coastlines in Italy, will surely make it high on the list of places to visit on your next trip to Italy.

Messina was completely destroyed in a terrible earthquake and then completely rebuilt. But there's lots to see there. Don't miss the largest organ in Italy, and an incredible mechanical clock with a crowing rooster and roaring lion!

An important occupation in Sicily is fishing. Fishing for swordfish requires a special boat and special techniques because of how fast these fish swim.

The Strait of Messina is a magical body of water between the tip of the boot of Italy and the island of Sicily. From ancient times, the meeting of two seas has imbued the area with myth and mystery.

In this last episode, we bid farewell to the Aeolian Islands, a fascinating place for its spectacular natural beauty.

Because they are difficult to reach--lying off the main sea routes--the islands of Filicudi and Alicudi have maintained their natural beauty.

Whether you want to explore the edges of the volcanic craters, visit the marine caves, or even get a mud bath for your aches and pains, the Aeolian island of Vulcano has plenty to offer!

As its name Vulcano implies, this Aeolian island boasts three volcanic centers. Because of its natural beauty and geological interest, it has become an important tourist destination. In ancient times it was held as an important place, figuring in both Greek and Roman mythology.

The island of Lipari is famous for having one of Italy's most important archaeological museums. This is largely because of the numerous shipwrecks that have been excavated. A particularly evocative aspect of Lipari is the presence of sea stacks that emerge from the water in a variety of shapes.
