Exploring Italy ’s colourful coastline on an Italian Yacht Charter
How well do you think you know Italy? As the world opens up perhaps we are becoming curious to explore more remote and less frequented regions. With the costs of air travel and long-haul holidays likely to spiral upward – perhaps now is the time to investigate wonders closer to home. The Mediterranean is full of hidden treasures, secret places and long forgotten history, so spare a thought for the waters and coastline of Italy as you plan your next vacation. Italy offers countless opportunities for romantic getaways or family time, and the excitement of being under sail or visiting charming coastal villages onshore and idyllic hidden coves; Italy has something for everyone and every mood.
Part of the joy of visiting Italy is the chance to savour authentic Italian food and wine.
With Italian yachts for charter, you get a blissful yacht holidays experience; you can visit places off the beaten track to discover the real cuisine cooked fresh by the locals, or trust your very own chef to source and cook the best ingredients for a 5 star meal.
Of course we all know of the Italians’ artistic and architectural prowess, so taking the
opportunity to visit architectural wonders, historic sites and museums will bring it to life and give a better understanding of the many cultures that have passed through and influenced the land. Whether admiring the cliff top villages or visiting a submerged marine museum, the wonders will never cease!
With so many Italian archipelagos offering up pristine coves, golden bays and colourful marine life, travelling on a yacht affords you access to places you wouldn’t normally be able to reach or even see. If watersports are your passion, there is no shortage of wind in some regions to fulfil your need for exhilaration; you can enjoy the watertoys available on board, or calmly snorkel or dive to see all the marine life that the sea has to offer.
Exploring Italy: Climate
The Italian climate has much to boast about – as due to its temperate climate it is ideal in many regions for most of the year. Although high season is July and August, April to October are also popular as the months either side offer comfortable temperatures and fewer tourists onshore.
Exploring Italy: How to choose your charter destination
With so many different regions with differing personalities to choose from, you are really spoilt for choice! So you could begin by researching where you would like to start your itinerary, the temperatures and weather in each region, or simply the sites or islands you would most like to visit.
