Culture
Italy's diverse culture stems backs thousands of years but one main element remains - family. Recieve service like no other at the traditional Italian restaurants dotted down the cobbled streets. Experience arts and architecture when you walk around the ancient streets, imagining what this area looked like back in the Roman times. Italian food is like no other - and each region is different! From Sicily to the Amalfi, to Ischia to Sardinia, each region has its own 'dish' which they specialise in. Some of our favorites are Spaghetti Alla Norma topped off with some Lemoncello!
Getting There
Amalfi Coast: For access to the Amalfi Coast, it is best to fly into Naples and catch a taxi down. By flying into Naples you have access to the Naples Gulf, where you can spend a few days prior to your charter! If you are flying in from JFK, there are no direct flights into Naples, you will have to catch a connection flight normally from Amsterdam or Paris.
Sicily: Most yachts are berthed on the northern coast of Sicily so flying into Palermo is the easiest. The main airport on the island is Catania Fontanarossa, which is around 2.5 hours away from Capo D'Orlando. Direct flights from London, most east coast airport will stopover in one European country before heading into Sicily.
Sardinia: This island has only three airports, so it's really down to you where you are picking the yacht up from. If you are chartering in the Northern part of Sardinia, Olbia and Alghero airport is easiest. If you are chartering around the southern part of the islands, Cagliari is the best airport to fly into.
