Tunisia (Italian edition)
Pantelleria, Pelagie Islands, Malta
This nautical guide details the Tunisian coast, as well as the surrounding sea, including the picturesque islands of Pantelleria and the Pelagie Islands (Lampedusa, Linosa, and Lampione), and the Maltese archipelago. This island represents an important technical port of call for many sailors heading to or from the eastern Mediterranean, perfectly equipped for every need. The texts are accompanied by colour photographs and nautical plans with landing waypoints. The introduction provides a comprehensive description of the navigation area, with technical and marine information (meteorology, marine fauna and lore, fishing, cruising, formalities and regulations, recreational boating services, historical profile, etc.), and mentions the valuable archaeological sites that testify to this country's rich, millennia-old history. The guide provides detailed piloting notes for the approach (night and day) to the destination, the type of mooring and/or anchorage, the services available on land, and other useful information (geographic coordinates, distances in nautical miles, nautical charts of the area, lighthouses and beacons, contact information). The author knows these places very well, having sailed there for over forty years and witnessed their transformation for pleasure boating over time.
