Italy
For exploring the magnificent west coast of Italy and world known for its beauty island of Corsica, we have chosen οne excellent location in the mainland, in the new built Etrusca Marina of Scarlino (Puntone). Departing from Puntone you can visit Elba island and the Tuscan islands.
Sicily and the Aeolian Islands
The history of Sicily is rich and varied It consists mostly of successive waves of invaders (the Greeks that founded Syracuse in 734 BC, the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Arabs, the Normans and the Spaniards) occupying the island and leaving cultural influences which have blended in often fascinating ways, such as the unique Arabic-Norman architecture of the Middle Ages.
Thanks we had a great holiday with some good wind and also very pleasant calm days. As usual ate and drank too much.
