8 most beautiful places in the Mediterranean for an unforgettable sailing trip

If you are fed up with the French Cote d'Azur in your travels in the Mediterranean Sea and you are already fed up with numerous yachting neighbors - we hasten to please you, there are still enough places on the Mediterranean coast where you should go on your own or a rented yacht, where you can retire without annoying crowds of tourists and developed infrastructure. These places include Cabo de Gato in Spain, Cap de Favartix on the island of Menorca, Banyul in France, Cala Gonone on the island of Sardinia, the Delimara peninsula on the island of Malta, the Kamenjak peninsula in Croatia, Lustica Peninsula in Montenegro and Geckeada Island in Turkey

Cabo de Gato

The Natural Park of Cabo de Gato has unspoiled nature, underwater reefs of unprecedented beauty, clear sea, clean air and unforgettable landscapes. There is really something to be surprised about here - the unique flora and fauna near the cape, created by nature itself from volcanic lava, side by side with the remains of a Roman settlement dating back to the 3rd century BC. Divers can appreciate the underwater reefs of unprecedented beauty, geologists can study the depths of the seabed, and biologists can look at flocks of pink flamingos. Undoubtedly, the clean air of these places and the beaches with red clean sand hidden behind the steep banks are a dream for any tourist. Going to Cabo de Gato, you will get acquainted with the beauty of virgin nature, with the elements of water and wind, as well as frozen volcano lavas. Local hotels are open around the clock, allowing you to stay overnight at any convenient time. At the same time, it cannot be said that Cabo de Gato is completely open to tourists - the pristine spirit has remained unchanged here since the time of the Roman Empire. Only modest fishing villages are scattered along the coast, and salt deposits are adjacent to the temple of Las Salinas. Unlike the inhabited beaches, there are no toilets or showers here, there are only a few bars. Going to Cabo de Gato, it is better to take care of your safety, because it will be very difficult to find medical assistance here.

Cap de Favartix

The Cape de Favartix is located in the northern part of the island of Menorca and is known far beyond the region for the beauty of its landscapes, as well as the nearby wild beaches and bays. Local attractions include the lunar black slate landscapes, as well as the lone lighthouse breaking the waves rushing towards it. The uninhabited sandy bays are especially beautiful here. The hard-to-reach rocky coast can only be reached by sea, after which you will discover unexplored Balearic beaches

Banyul

The village of Banyul in the south of France is known for its pebble beaches and unforgettable sea views.

Those with their own diving equipment are allowed to dive at any time, from July to August. The place is also known as a region for the production of high-quality vintage wines "Banyul", with a voluminous aroma of nuts and raisins.

Cala Gonone

The resort town of Cala Gonone is surrounded by picturesque cliffs covered with spreading trees. Cala Gonone is a great starting point for your coastal travel exploring the local hidden coves. The best and most unexplored vacation spots are only accessible from the water, and from here you can start exploring a whole string of beaches and coves. Climbers gather here to conquer the bizarre granite peaks. In the best restaurant in Cala Gonone - La Favorita Ristorante Pizzeria, you can try scallop dishes, tuna tartare and sebice

Delimara

If you need some privacy, it is worth visiting the Delimara Peninsula, which belongs to the State of Malta. The reefs are attractive for scuba diving as they open up to uncharted beauty underwater. It is home to many exotic fish species, including parrotfish, sea ruff and stingrays.

This place is ideal for seclusion, deserted beaches will certainly amaze you with their pristine beauty and purity.

Lustica

The Lustica Peninsula has numerous clean beaches along the coast with relatively easy access. You can get here only by sea.

Boats during the excursions stop right in the cave and participants are allowed to dive right into the rainbow-colored water.

Gechkeada

Geckeada Island in Turkey is known for its inaccessibility and sparsely populated, local attraction is gorgeous beaches and stunning landscapes.
