The Adriatic coast around Venice is not on most sailors' radar. Unlike the rest of Italy, this area is also easily accessible by land. The small town of Caorle serves as the starting port and is located at the mouth of the Livenza River. Its small alleys and houses painted in the typical Venetian style have earned Caorle the nickname "Little Venice." Due to the small number of charter yachts, it is worth booking the right vessel early.

The islands of volcanic origin are easily accessible from the north coast of Sicily. Their largest mountain, Stromboli, rises on the island of the same name with its exact 924 meters above sea level and still spews its glowing red lava today. The seven Lipari, or Aeolian Islands, are dotted with original villages that make you forget everyday life with their incomparable charm, the typically narrow streets with small shops, and quaint restaurants.

The region impresses with highlights such as the colorful house facades of the Cinque Terre or the picturesque beaches of Elba. It stretches from the west side of Genoa over the enchanting coastal section of the Cinque Terre to the Tyrrhenian Sea. Chartering is possible in Genoa and La Spezia, as well as in Castiglioncello, San Vincenzo, Salivoli, Punta Ala, and Scarlino. The main wind direction is N/NW. In spring and autumn, the Scirocco from SW blows more frequently.

Still lonely and hardly frequented, the Aeolian Islands located in the west of Sicily form the true insider tip of the country. In the shadow of the Lipari, these authentic islets offer much more than an alternative to their larger island siblings and impress above all with their tranquility and idyll. The islands, mainly consisting of the three larger islands Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo, together cover just 37.45 m². A small area, but great!
