2002 Map
Exploring the picturesque holiday villas (mainly owned by Italians from the north), the manicured gardens, the stylish boutiques and fancy restaurants in the bustling tourist villages of Ditella, San Pietro and Drauto on Panarea Island
Anchoring amongst many lively Italian yachts and swimming and snorkelling in the warm, azure water off Lisca Bianca island and observing the only recently increased activity of submarine fumaroles (where tiny openings in the Earth's crust, in volcanic regions, emit steam and gases such as carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide) - as if the sea was boiling rotten eggs.
Counting over 50 sailing yachts at anchor in the crowded bay of Cala Zimmari (with mostly heavily partying Italian holiday sailors during the peak season in August), finding comfort in our stocks of full-bodied Italian Nero d’Avola and hitting the sack at sun rise with vivid hallucinations of being the only ship in a secluded anchorage with palm-fringed beaches somewhere else in this world where we could live our cruising dreams to the fullest.
