You step aboard at Giardini Naxos; the engine hums and the Ionian Sea opens like a page of blue. Mount Etna watches from the horizon, its slopes a slow-moving presence as the boat threads the coastline toward the small, protected spit of Isola Bella. Sea caves yawn at waterline, and sunlight slices into the clear water where fish weave through red corals.
