TWO NEW BASES FOR 2008

New for 2008 Sunsail are excited to launch two new base in Southern Italy opening in May 2008. Giving you opportunity to experience the best that this beautiful, romantic country has to offer, we will be opening one base in Palermo, Sicily and then one at the tip of the foot in Tropea.

Italy is a joy to discover, it’s dreamy light and sumptuous landscapes seem made for romance, and its years of experience in history, culture and delicious cuisine seduces just about anyone who goes there. Visit beautiful old towns and ancient ports and cruise some of the sunniest and most romantic coastlines in Europe.

Both bases are located in southern Italy and positioned perfectly to allow you to explore the best that this beautiful country has to offer. You can visit Roman ruins, stare in awe renaissance art, relax on stunning beaches and choose to dine in a variety of delightful restaurants.

You will be amazed at the views as you sail through these lush waters past the rocky coastlines, beautiful castles that you can explore.

Another unique and awe-inspiring attraction to sailing from our bases in Tropea and Palermo, is that fantastic views of some of Europe’s greatest volcanoes. Travel from our base at Tropea to Stromboli, the biggest active volcano around. See the smoke of the peak joining the steam that rises from the water. Stromboli has the blackest beaches of all the Aeolian Islands.

For a day of relaxing and tranquility spend a day at Beautiful Vulcano, famous for its bath in the warm waters of the submarine springs.

The Climate here is Mediterranean, with hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The sheer height of some of the larger volcanoes and mountains cause a sharp difference in climate. On the coast the average temperature is around 19˚C, which is likely to drop to around 13˚C inland.
