The local's trick

With five days you can afford to wait for the right day: check the wind and decide in the morning.

What to bring

  • Certification and logbook if you go diving
  • Trekking shoes for Marettimo
  • Dry bag
  • Flexibility on the program

If it's windy or bad weather

  • Diving and fishing tourism depend on the sea: keep two interchangeable activities.
  • On windy days, move everything to the south coast or indoors.
