Sailing Vacations Mediterranean – Italy
A Sardinia sailing vacation unfolds in a wonderful part of the Mediterranean. When you go sailing in Calabria waters, you enter a natural world of incredible natural beauty. Now we will continue our 
sailing vacations in Calabria (Italy) in wilage Gizzeria.. We are now at the mouth of river Savuto, anciently known as river Okinaros; in the surroundings, the town’s of Terina and, more to the south, of Temesa (Temso) were located. According to poet Licofrone’s accounts, the Greek warriors who had survived the war of Troy went ashore just there… and other people, sailing from Troy to the flowing waters of Memblete, the Pelasgian river, round the Cerneate isle, will settle on the land that surrounds the mouth of river Lameto … across the Straits leading to the Tyrrhenian sea…». At a stone’s throw from there, we discover the marina of Nocera Torinese, where traditional cuisine has reached excellent quality levels, with skilful combinations of farm produce and sea food, the results of which are sometimes quite unusual but, judging by their delicious taste, absolutely successful. The Sinus Lametinus or Hipponate, now called the gulf of Sant Eufemia, embraces the villages located between Cape Suvero and Tropea. Off the coast, one can even spot Stromboli volcano and Aeolian Islands. Just past Cape Suvero and its lighthouse, we reach the roadstead of Gizzeria, where local fishermen usually moor their small boats during good weather. The sur¬rounding area is rich in typical trattorias and restaurants where fish dishes are a specialty.
The view offered by the Lamezia plain is almost boundless. During clear spring and September days, one can see mount Tiriolo, on one side, and the Aeolian Archipelago, on the other side. Beyond the airport, among the remains of modern industrial buildings (the headquarters of SIR chemical/oil-refining plant had to be located just here, as evidenced by the pier still standing), there are wide orchards and fields where citrus fruits and vegetables are grown. Between the two rivers Amato (Lametos) and Angitola (Torino), a great number of tourist facilities provide good opportunities to stop and buy food supplies or even have a quick meal in one of the trattorias hidden among mag¬nificent eucalyptus trees. A Sardinia sailing vacation on Italy’s Tyrrhenian Sea is a cruise through a incredible beauty. More informations about sailing vacations you can find on our web page.

Sailing in Sardinia
Soft and warm summer winds from the north and northwest average between 7 and 14 knots, though they. In late afternoon, more southerly and stronger winds can be expected. Spring and fall sailing vacations is also quite pleasant.
Just past the strip of tuffaceous coastline, run along by an old rail track, we notice the entrance of a cavern excavated by worshippers’ hands and containing a host of votive little statues made by fishermen and local craftsmen: it is the little church of Piedigrotta. In the nearby area, a great number of slipways for boats are clear evidence of busy seafaring and fishing activity.This was the point from where boats used to set sail immediately as soon as look-outs on towers sighted tuna shoals.
We now arrive very close to Baia della Seggiola (literally «bay of the chair») – which is a Winter shelter for fishermen’s boats – and Pizzafundi pier of Pizzo Calabro: the promenade offers the possibility to try typical traditional foods and drinks at every single corner.

Straightaway we take this opportunity to buy the famous Pizzo truffle – a renowned ice-cream sold in any cafe bar in this town – and store it in our on-board ice-box. In trattorias and restaurants, one can try pepata di cozze (dish made with stewed mussels), «pitta lorda» and a kind of appetizer made with octopus, all accompanied by a glass of a first quality local zibibbo (muscatel) wine.
The old port of Pizzo Calabro was located further southward. Until 1860 it was the one and only 
point to depart from and reach all the other coast villages, such as Tropea, and big ports of the Tyrrhenian coast:
Naples, Genoa and Palermo. This is the place where, soon after the defeat of Napoleon’s Empire, Joachim Murat, King of the Two Sicilies, went ashore to carry out his anti-Bourbon plot but tragically died before being able to do it.
We decide to treat ourselves to a two-hour stop. We take the lift (still not completely built) leading us up to the Aragonese castle and the beautiful Repubblica Square all covered with sunshade parasols sheltering tourists – busy at tasting any kind of food and ricotta-cheese ice-creams – from sunlight.
Sailing to Diamante in Calabria – Italy

The next stop on our sailing vacation is Diamante. The port houses about two hundred boats
and offers services typical of a small seaside village which become quite livery and overcrowded with tourists especially during Summer.
The village can easily be reached through via Santa Lucia, a street that gets right into its old part, swarming with craftsman’s workshops and typical trattorias. Also the Accademia del peperonico (Academy of the red hot chili papper) is located here; it has by now become a kind of regional gastronomic agency, selling not only ordinary home-made products and farm produce, but also small jars filled with preserves and red papper purees. on the outskirts of Diamante, at Buonvicino, the restaurant “La rondinella” offers the possibility to try traditional cuisine dished such as “I’arranciatura” and “ucuonzu” made with vegetables, pluses and sausages. This will variegate our sailing vacations in Calabria.
Typical of the neighboring small village of Santa Maria del Cedro are the so-called «pannicelli», pastry cakes made with citron and currants, which became famous when praised by Italian writer Gabriele d’Annunzio.
Now we continue our sailing vacations. From Diamante we set sail towards Belvedere 
Marittimo, always keeping far from the coast. A long series of ancient villages are to be found all scattered on mountain tops. On our left-hand side, we can catch a glimpse of the headland of Cozzo Pellegrino. Some centuries ago, the first Provencal Vadois farmers, and later Scanderbeg Albanians, settled down in this area. On our right-hand side, the Montea mountain range stands out clearly. Since ancient times, mariners used to scan the cloudy horizon standing out around the Montea peaks to guess what the weather would be like in the days to come. If this is your first sailing vacation, please read careful the sailing guide to avoid sailing accident.
