Tourism officials in Italy have launched a promotion which may be of interest to people who love sailing the Mediterranean.
Liguria’s tourism body is inviting holidaymakers to take trips with local fishermen to learn more about the country’s coastline and the Italian way of fishing.
The organisation said that the sailors are happy to demonstrate their knowledge of the local waters and the fish and shellfish that are found in it during the trips.
People taking the trips also get to enjoy eating the fish they have caught, with the fishermen simply grilling and serving it before explaining more about local life.
Aside from food, the day trips also offer the option of diving into the clear waters for a swim or lounging around beneath the baking sun on-deck.
Located in north-west Italy on the Bay of Genoa, Liguria is well-known for its impressive beaches and local food.
