The eastern part - the Riviera di Levante - is even more interesting for a yacht charter: Portofino, Rapallo, Camogli, Santa Margherita Ligure ... all these places are not only extremely picturesque and known throughout the world for their "postcard" views, but also have a lot to offer with a gastronomic points of view.Even further to the east is the pearl of the Ligurian Riviera - Cinque Terre: five medieval villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, located right on the sheer cliffs. The pristine coastline is ideal not only for walking, but also for anchorages, swimming and snorkeling. And a little further south - reminiscent of Portofino with its multi-colored facades, the beautiful town of Portovenere with an ancient fortress on a cape.  From the Gulf of La Spezia begins the region of Tuscany, which does not need to be presented in detail in terms of natural, gastronomic and wine treasures. It is home to many great wineries, and each city has its own time-honored culinary highlights. Be sure to visit Viareggio and Livorno; the well-known resort of Forte dei Marmi is also nearby. And if you have the time and desire to immerse yourself in history and culture, Florence, Pisa, Siena and Lucca are not too far from the coast.

Just 10 miles from the coast of Italy lies the Tuscan archipelago, which is also a national park. It includes 7 islands.The largest and closest to the continent is Elba, known as the place of temporary exile of Napoleon Bonaparte. There are two of his museum houses on the island at once, but besides this, you can find a lot of interesting things here - from ancient castles to beautiful beaches.Another impressive island of the Tuscan archipelago is the mysterious Montecristo, made famous by the novel by Alexandre Dumas. Small, only 3.5 x 4 km, it is a nature reserve, so no more than 1,000 tourists a year can visit it by submitting a preliminary application.Well, the final chord of the Tuscan coast is the island of Monte Argentario, located further south and connected to the mainland, with a beautiful lagoon, magnificent landscapes, excellent restaurants and a vibrant yachting life in the port of Santo Stefano, where classic yacht regattas take place.

The pearls of the Gulf of Naples are the islands of Capri and Ischia. In Capri, superyachts stop at Marina Grande: it is very popular during the season, so you need to book a place in advance.Another option is to stay south-facing at Marina Piccolo, which has the beach, good restaurants and the famous Faraglioni Rocks not far away. The cozy, well-defended port of the island of Ischia has an almost perfectly rounded outline, which is not surprising - it is located on the site of an ancient volcanic crater.Nearby is the thermal resort of Casamicciola Terme with hot springs and pine forests, as well as the famous Aragonese castle, first mentioned in historical chronicles as far back as the 5th century BC.

Further south lies the Amalfi Coast. In addition to Amalfi itself with a beautiful cathedral of the 10th century, the famous “Paradise Courtyard” and many excellent restaurants, you should definitely look into the picturesque town of Positano, where pink and terracotta houses literally hang on the coastal cliffs, and you can find a lot of interesting things in the steep narrow streets. If you have time, you can walk along the Path of the Gods, which connects Positano with other coastal towns.

Even further south is Sicily: the largest island in the Mediterranean, which is worth a separate yacht trip. Syracuse with the cave "Ear of Dionysius", Agrigento with ancient temples, the most beautiful Taormina, colorful Palermo and, of course, Etna - an active volcano rising 3300 m above sea level.However, if you want to enjoy the sight of the eruption in a more private setting, head to the Aeolian (Lipari) Islands off the northern coast of Sicily. The small island-volcano of Stromboli, where Roberto Rossellini filmed his films, will please you during the day with a small cozy town and a beach with blue-black sand, and in the evening with a fiery glow of the crater visible from afar, from which stones periodically fly out and even lava flows out.The last strong eruption of Stromboli happened in 2019, and if the volcano is calm, then excursions are organized to its top. Of the other islands of the archipelago - Lipari, Salina, Vulcano, Panarea - each is interesting in its own way, but they are united by beautiful nature, excellent local cuisine and silence: these islands are not yet crowded with tourists.
