Cala dei Liparoti

Drop anchor in crystal-clear water over sandy patches at this tucked-away cove on the Levante coast, wedged between Punta Cirucco and Punta Rotolo at Capo Milazzo. The setting is genuinely unspoiled — sheer cliffs, no development, and the kind of natural quiet that's increasingly hard to find. Aim for around 4 metres depth off the small shed just past the last house, where the holding is good.
