Portorosa - Vulcano

Boarding in the morning in the marina of Portorosa, Furnari (Messina).

Once the galley is filled and we take our seats in the cabin we are ready to set sail: we leave Sicily behind us and with a fresh crosswind we sail towards Vulcano which welcomes us from its always active crater. We spend the night in Vulcano in the bay.

After enjoying the classic granita, bath in the gaseous bubbles of Lisca Bianca and stop in Basiluzzo. We head towards the Sciara del Fuoco, on the side of the island of Stromboli where the volcanic materials emitted in the eruptive explosions from the main crater of the volcano accumulate.

The spectacle that Stromboli offers us with its continuous eruptions is unique and thrilling. 

Stromboli - Salina

Leaving Stromboli we head to Salina which is the greenest island of the Aeolian Islands and, for those who love the mountains, the extinct volcano of Monte Fossa delle Felci with its 962 meters. It's an irresistible challenge.

Stops and swims while visiting all the most beautiful bays, such as Lingua and Capofaro. Evening on land to taste the famous granita and bread cunzatu at Alfredo in Lingua.

Detour to Alicudi and then to Lipari for the night. We take advantage of the stop in Lipari for an excursion to the Castle of Lipari which stands on the sea, in a rich archaeological area. We are in the upper part of the city and from there you can dominate the entire bay of Marina Lunga and Marina Corta and the lower town. Night at the mooring so you can go ashore.

Portorosa

It's time to say goodbye. Disembarkation is scheduled for 9 a.m., but the desire to get back on the road is very strong. We exchange addresses with our travel companions and leave with the promise of meeting again soon, another sea trip and many other islands are there waiting for us!
