The island of Sicily today finds itself facing a formidable challenge presented by thevarious sectors of the tourism industry: as is true of tourism around the world, theindustry’s boundaries are not yet clearly defined, the business moves extremelyfast and its developments are not always foreseeable.The construction of an adequate pleasure-boating infrastructure, connected withthe resources on offer further inland, is of great strategic importance. For theisland’s economy and tourist industry to develop in the most fruitful way, thisstrategy must take account of the island’s central position in the Mediterranean asa sort of reference point for commercial and recreational sailing routes.Nautical tourism, just like the other sectors, is having to face significant challengesconnected with offering facilities as part of a sustainable development programme,and at the same time compete with port development programmes in nearbycountries, where coastlines are being equipped with a large number of mooringspots at competitive prices. Sicily, however, has unequalled appeal in theMediterranean and can therefore legitimately aspire to being the nautical capital ofthis sea: 1,500 kilometres of coastline acting as a gateway to a mainland whichboasts thousands of years of history, stunning landscapes, national heritage,unspoilt natural environments, archaeological sites and monuments. Theseattractions constitute the added value that will attract customers in this particulartourism sector.The department which I direct is today bringing to completion the various biddingstages necessary to construct a large number of new tourist ports, and to expandand equip existing ports so as to render them functional and aesthetically pleasing.The aim is to be able provide efficient services, both on the quay and on dry land,together with the infrastructure necessary for travel inland. In this sense, the touristport must be considered as the first point of contact for the cultural andenvironmental attractions present in the area, with services and information aimedat helping tourists familiarise themselves with the region visited.The newly designed ports together with existing ports form a network which has beendesigned with great care: upon completion it will be possible to sail around Sicily and,if desired, put in at landing spots strategically spaced at intervals of 30 nautical miles.This will open up new possibilities for nautical tourism in small boats and, at the sametime, accommodate the largest yachts with the highest degree of safety.The great national and international sailing events which are due to take place inSicily in 2005 and the following years, such as the national offshore racingchampionships, the Bailli de Suffren trophy, and above all the America’s Cup, willtrigger a significant increase in pleasure-boating activity. Sicily will not be caughtunprepared by the new mooring requests and the demand for cultural tourismassociated with great events. The Sicilian sea is today set to win back its role asan economic leader, in part as a result of the new possibilities that will be offeredto pleasure boaters. The year 2005 is going to be a turning point for tourism inSicily: it will be the year of the cultural tour, following the tracks of great travellersof centuries gone by on their “grand tours”; there is going to be an extraordinaryseries of initiatives and shows, which will promote Sicily in the eyes of the world asa welcoming and diverse destination, sure to entice and enchant. Modern travellerswill be able to immerge themselves in the island’s history, traditions, cuisine, winesand culture.

FOREWORD

3

Putting to sea is not merely to enjoy the deep blue or the most immense silence;very often it is, however, spirit of adventure and curiosity to discover the unknownwhich push us beyond the “Pillars of Hercules”. In fact, it was this inner need, the“sailor in every one of us”, that convinced us to produce this helpful guide for thesea-bound tourist.Easy access to information about a port, about the most secluded ravines along acoastline, or about the most exclusive beaches, can without a doubt be said to beone of the strong points of the Sicilian sea “tourist product”.We wanted to go a step further than this by adding a complimentary horizon ofdiscovery: explore Sicily’s remarkable landscapes by sea, but also go inland, crossthe mountains and discover the dreamscape that the mythical island of Sicily hasto offer its visitors.Discover the myth, marvel at the majesty of Sicily’s giant, Etna, travel through thelesser known valleys, touch the evidence of its history, the traces of thePhoenicians, the Greeks, the Arabs, the Normans and all the other civilizations whofound a good reason, or perhaps an “excuse”, to stay on the “Island of the Sun”,more often than not claiming to have lost their bearings.These thoughts have taken concrete form in “Sicily: Pleasure Boater’s Guide. Portsand Itineraries”, of which this publication presents a carefully considered selection.In this volume the reader can find technical port information depicted in the formof harbour plans, listings of pleasure boating services, useful port information, anda collection of useful addresses for pleasure boaters.Those seeking a more comprehensive approach to the region are invited to consultthe “Pleasure Boater’s Guide …” referred to above. Here the reader will findinformation on all the services necessary for a comfortable stay, together with adescription of the local hospitality in each destination. Also included are details ofthe DOC wine-producing areas, itineraries and nature trails, and information onevents taking place on the island, not to mention lots of general information aboutthe region to ensure you enjoy the best of the Sicilian tourist product. This guideinvites the pleasure boater to see the Island’s port network as much more thansomewhere to moor. Instead, the port is as an opportunity, or a base, from whichto discover Sicily.The “tools” which we provide today will therefore prove most helpful to pleasureboaters who see Sicily not only as a destination for brief holidays or for their particularstay, but also as part of the bigger picture of the Mediterranean tourist system.For all the above reasons, the “Guide” plays an important promotional role, notonly for those areas of Sicily which look onto the sea, but also for the inland areasof the island, which have all too often been overlooked by the tourist circuit. Theseareas are finally being re-evaluated on account of the beauty of their landscapesand the authenticity of the culture they express.This aspect, we feel, must be highlighted: the tourist is really being offered adifferent “perspective” on the island of Sicily, because rather than reinforcing thelong-standing (and now outmoded) tourist distinction between the coast andinland areas, an integrated approach is proposed, capable of offering the travellera leisure experience that is also culturally meaningful.In this way, the tourist port becomes a “gateway” into a world of discovery, whichis not only that traditionally presented in the best tourist guides, but one whichcontains a few small “pearls” of local culture that most people never discover.These publications today assume even greater importance, as they are able tomake reference to the great sailing events which are due to take place in Sicily in2005 and in the following years. These will eventually lead up to a great world-classsailing event, namely the America’s Cup 2007. All this will stimulate greater andgreater interest in sailing sports, and will in turn increase demand for boatmoorings in our region.
