Cala Dogana bay (Levanzo, Sicily)

Cala Dogana is a picturesque bay on the island of Levanzo near Sicily. There’s also a settlement of the same name. Those who want to take a break from the crowds and enjoy a quiet holiday by the clearest sea come here. The water here is so clear that looking at the photos, it seems that the boats are soaring above the bottom of the bay instead of swaying on the waves.
