Aeolian Islands
Around Lipari, Vulcano and Stromboli the bottom falls away steeply; good holding is rare and often in depths that demand a lot of chain. The wind accelerates between the islands, and the Strait of Messina to the south adds current. Damage mostly happens when boats drag at night in a rising wind.

Berths, season and winter storage
The season runs from May to September, berths are in the upper price band and scarce; many boats lie on moorings. Boats winter afloat, usually in Milazzo or on Sicily. If you take a mooring, check its condition yourself rather than trusting the operator.
What this means for your policy
The area falls under the cruising range for Italy, Sardinia and Sicily. Check whether damage to and caused by a third party mooring is covered by your policy, and how a salvage is settled when the boat is against a rocky shore.
