Nature of People Italians can be synonymous with fun while you are on vacation. Mediterranean hospitality is not in short supply here and they know how to make you feel at home. Enjoying the beautiful weather and gorgeous setting through the eyes of the locals is the best way to see the country. Don't hesitate to ask for a skipper or do try to get to know people underway. Sailing Conditions: Winds are variable but moderate throughout most of the summer. Occasional Sirocco or Mistral winds can occur with winds up to 27 knots. Most days are warm and sunny throughout the spring, summer and fall. The Mediterranean mooring is the usual docking situation. There are marinas here and there but also harbors with just walls to tie to. Anchoring out is permitted and safe in many areas as well. Port fees are required in marinas but are not expensive in the islands closer to the mainland. Sardinia is an exception where port fees can fun above EURO100 per night in high season.

Why Italy
Little needs to be said about a country as well known as Italy. But, who would think that there were corners of this well-traveled country that relatively few have visited? One
doesn't think of islands when thinking of Italy but off Italy's lovely coast are five island groups, which deserve visiting. The charter scene in Italy is relatively new but certainly well developed due to the scores of European visitors. For Americans this is new, exciting cruising ground filled
with lush Mediterranean vegetation, intriguing historical towns where time has stopped, significant historical and archaeological remains, a volcano, romantic deserted coves and bays and, last but not least, Italians with all the love of life, food and fun you would expect.
