Description

The anchorages of Cala Matano are located on San Domino Island, in the Tremiti archipelago of Puglia The island of San Domino is by extent the first island in Puglia as well as in the aforementioned archipelago.

Along the entire coast of the island there are several coves and caves to be discovered by boat excursions. Among the many, proceeding clockwise from the ports of San Domino, is Cala Matano also known as Cala Duchessa named after Duchess Matano, wife of Commendatore Elia, administrator of the archipelago. The sandy bottom of this anchorage of the Foggia archipelago makes the water clear and transparent.

The splendid cove, wild and evocative in its charm, is surrounded by lush vegetation and smooth limestone rocks, formed by a natural bay that, descending sheer to the sea, has left this small cove at the bottom, which can also be easily reached by land from above along a charming path. The sea that bathes the cove is extraordinarily turquoise, crystal clear and transparent, ideal for swimming and bathing. It is a wild land, where hordes of seagulls are the masters of the island. There is also a charming little beach with the possibility of renting a sunbed and umbrella. It is probably also thanks to these features that this cove was included in the 2013 Legambiente survey among the most beautiful beaches in Italy along with more famous and emblazoned competitors.

A splendid and well-served cove, then, consisting of a large area with smooth rocks, overlooked by the pine forest that comes within a few steps of the sea, which provides pleasant shelter from the sun in the hottest hours, if necessary.

It is easy to understand why Lucio Dalla loved this island and this sea, and the reason why these magical places were the inspiration for his wonderful songs that he wrote and sang. From this picturesque cove the Bolognese singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla, a frequent visitor to the Tremiti Islands and chosen by him as his home, recorded the album entitled “Luna Matana.” Arriving in front of the legendary plaque in front of the gate of his house: “Domenico Sputo – Pilot of World War II,” a great emotion overwhelms anyone in a pleasant “Amarcord” , made of notes, images and thoughts.

Nothing will make a vacation unforgettable like a night walk to the sea in this cove, on moonlit evenings the water glows with silver reflections and the whole of Cala Matano is illuminated with a clear and surreal glow, one of the most romantic places this magnificent archipelago can offer

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
