This is the first post-Brexit edition of this essential guide. Forty years of revision and updates have built on the solid work of the first edition. The area covered stretches from the Ligurian coast (Italian riviera), via the Tuscan islands and mainland coast down to the Tyrrhenian Sea, then Rod’s admitted favourite destination, Sardinia. Sicily, Malta, the Gulf of Taranto but north only as far as Brindisi – not the Adriatic. The ‘formalities’ section must be consulted, and all contact details, new facilities and new restrictions have been updated.
There’s a great deal of factual and comparative material included in this book and the tips for ‘shoestring’ cruising included at the beginning of each section will be welcomed by many.
