Sardinia

From one of the numerous marinas north of Olbia, we head north, passing small islands and beaches while we look for the first beautiful anchorage to swim in crystal clear water and enjoy the sunset with a drink. The next day our route leads us further north to the national park „La Maddalena.“ Here you can hardly decide which beach is brighter and which water is clearer – pure Caribbean feeling!
The small town „La Maddalena“ is also worth a visit. Decorated alleys and Sardinian cuisine are waiting for us.
If wind and weather permit, a crossing to Corsica is also on the schedule. The natural harbor of Bonifacio is reached after a fjord-like entrance and is impressive.

Highlights

On land: Olbia, La Maddalena, Bonifacio
For the eye: Many small islands, white sand beaches, crystal clear water, snorkeling
Sailing: moderate winds from different directions, strong winds in the Strait of Bonifacio, many anchoring possibilities

Lipari Islands

In Portorosa in the north of Sicily, this one-week sailing trip sails to the most beautiful places of the Lipari Islands. This group of islands is also known as the Aeolian Islands and is located in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Among other things, the hot springs on Vulcano, the active volcano Stromboli, the nature reserve Filicudi and many fantastic views over the colorful and hilly landscape await us.
A first stop on the rocky island Basiluzzo, with the Roman ruins and the fantastic view, gives an impression of what is to come. San Pietro with the approx. 50°C warm healing springs, Lipari with numerous cultural highlights, Vulcan with three volcanoes and the famous thermal gardens, as well as the beautiful sandy beaches with snorkeling and swimming opportunities in the south of some islands. The week will fly by.
For those who like it varied, The Lipparian Islands are still considered an insider tip and, fortunately, have not yet been discovered by mass tourism.

Highlights

On land: The city of Lipari, thermal gardens, Roman ruins, colorful flora
For the eye: View of the archipelago, Stromboli, beautiful bays
Sailing: Moderate winds, several anchor bays
