This experience, in a nutshell

Discover the Aeolian Islands, a volcanic archipelago classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where spectacular landscapes, hilltop villages and anchorages with crystal clear waters mingle.


Departing from Milazzo, this cruise offers you a perfect balance of sailing, swimming and discovery, at a pleasant pace that will allow you to fully enjoy each stopover.

You will explore Lipari, with its picturesque alleys, medieval castle and impressive panoramas of the sea, as well as Vulcano, famous for its fumaroles, thermal mud baths and black sand beaches. If conditions allow, we can also visit Salina, Panarea and Stromboli, whose active volcano offers a unique natural spectacle at sunset.


Sailing is the best way to discover these islands: waking up at anchor, swimming in secluded coves, lunches at anchor and evenings under the stars. Every day is an opportunity to enjoy the calm of the sea, explore the villages on land or simply relax on deck.


Average speed: 5 knots. Indicative distances and sailing times, which vary according to weather conditions and volcanic activity.
