Sailing Along The Coast Of Calabria in 2011 – Scalea part II

Sailing Along The Coast Of Calabria in 2011 – Scalea part II

We continue with our Scalea sailing vacations adventure from the post before. Ulysse is said to have stopped in this part of the region to erect a heroon (temple) dedicated to beloved friends Dracone who died during the journey.Photoshoot in Calabria: Riviera dei Cedri : Calabria from Scratch -Scalea Beach

The temple is splendid construction and the bright and vivid colour nuances of the blue sea and
green mountains invite us to moor our boat in the surroundings of this small isle and go a scouting tour of the grotte del Leone (Lion’s caverns), Sardine (Pilchard’s cavern) and the grotta Azzura (Blue cavern).

Just before sunset, beyond the baia del Carpino (Carpino bay) and Scalea – a free fall of small houses sloping gently down to sea level creating some sort of flight of steps -, beyond the mouth of the mythical Lao river and Cirella isle,

we dock at Diamante, by going around the headland which blocks the view of Panoramio - Photo of Spiaggia San Nicola Arcellathe pier.

The Laos Potamos of the ancient inhabitants of Magna Graecia is Surrounded  by woods of oleanders and tamarinds. In times gone by , it was a line of communication with the Pollino mountains tops and grotte deglieremiti (Hermits’ caverns). The very mouth of the river was used as a berth by merchant ships transporting goods to and from Aeolian islands and Sicily; more islands there must have been some sort of canal linking the area with the colony of  lao, located near Santa Maria del Cedro.

We easily sail past the shallow waters, keeping at safe distance as suggested by the local sea authorities, that together with the yacht marine, provided us with information of overriding importance on the phone.

Commoners and family vacationers generally do not opt for bareboat charters for obvious reasons. However, if you know the various aspects involved in handling ship including technical issues, bareboat charters work out inexpensive instead of owning and maintaining luxury yachts.
