Yachting Club Mare Sicily – Location – How to reach our 3 star hotel in the north of Sicily

Idyllic Location

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and arguably one of the most beautiful.

The Yachting Club Mare lies on the the northern shore of Sicily in a small fishing village known as San Giorgio close to Gioiosa Marea opposite the Aeolian Islands.

Resting in a seafront valley with orange groves behind, the volcanic peaks of the Aeolian Islands to the fore and a spread of majestic pine trees to the sides, the Yachting Club Mare Sicily is in an idyllic location.

Fortunately it is also extremely easy to reach us by a variety of modes of transport.
