Bottaro Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Drop anchor at Bottaro in about 10 meters over small rocks, but do yourself a favor and dive down to check your anchor is set properly — it's easy to get it stuck. Once you're settled, grab your snorkel and head to the spot where volcanic gases bubble up from the seabed; it's like floating in a natural Jacuzzi, one of those genuinely weird and wonderful things you won't find just anywhere.
