Here we recommend three must-see destinations and the operators offering itineraries to best explore them, all details can be found inside their booths at Milan Yachting Week!
AEOLIAN ISLANDS
A cruise to the Aeolian Islands usually departs from the port of Capo d’Orlando or Portorosa. Once you set sail, the first stop is Vulcano, with its breathtaking crater that dominates island life. The second stop is Lipari, the largest island in the Aeolian Islands and perhaps the most crowded, especially after sunset when clubs and restaurants are taken by storm. Continuing north we find Salina, Stromboli and Panarea, the geologically oldest island in the Archipelago. Itineraries generally end with a stop at Filicudi, the island at the far western end of the archipelago, where we bid farewell to the Aeolian Islands and its stacks and return to base.

CORSICA AND SARDINIA
Incredible sea and nightlife are the two pillars of this vacation, perfect for families, groups of friends and young couples. We start with the inlet of Porto Rotondo, which you will love (as well as Porto Cervo) if you are looking for fun by night. Spargi Island, the pearl of the Maddalena archipelago, is a gem to explore in all its secret beauty. Moving on to the French island, pre itineraries usually see stops in Lavezzi and Bonifacio, to push on to La Plage d’Argent if you explore the western side of the Island and up to Porto Vecchio on the eastern side. A stop at Cavallo, a private island with incredible villas and unique coves, is a must, but watch out for the seabed! The proposals we recommend are those of:
