Imagine setting sail from Capo d'Orlando, with the bow cutting through a sea that becomes increasingly blue, almost unreal, as you move away from the coast. The wind caresses your face, the scent of salt fills your lungs and one of the most fascinating itineraries in the Mediterranean opens up in front of us.

The route leads us to the Aeolian Islands, an archipelago where nature is still authentic and the sea is among the cleanest and most transparent in Italy. We will sail through volcanic scenery, crystal clear waters and silences that taste of infinity.

Among all, we will stop at two rare pearls:

• Filicudi, wild and mysterious, where time seems to have stopped. Here unspoiled nature dominates: sea caves, deep seabeds and a sense of absolute peace. It is the island of those who seek authenticity.
• Alicudi, even more remote, without roads or cars. Only mule tracks and silence. Here you live slowly, following the rhythm of the sun and the sea. A place almost suspended, out of the modern world.

After breathing in the magic of the Aeolian Islands, we will point the bow westwards: a longer crossing awaits us, a stretch of open sea that will give us unique emotions. It will be time for night navigation, perhaps the most intense part of the journey. The starry sky above us, the sound of the water under the hull and the deep feeling of freedom.

During the crossing, we'll also experience the thrill of trolling, letting ourselves be guided by instinct and patience, immersed in an almost meditative atmosphere.

At dawn, Ustica will appear on the horizon, a surprising island, different from all the others. A small paradise in the heart of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Ustica is known as a diver's paradise, but not only : its protectedmarine reserve offers incredibly clear waters, where even with a simple mask you can snorkel surrounded by schools of fish, bright colors and seabeds reminiscent of the tropics. It is a place where the sea is alive, pulsating.

But Ustica is not just the sea. It is also intense flavors and spicy aromas, a cuisine that tells its story made up of contaminations and traditions. Here every dish has character, every ingredient speaks of land and sea together.

Finally, the last stop: Palermo.

The arrival in the city will be a change of pace, but just as fascinating. After days of sea and silence, we will immerse ourselves in the vitality of the historic center, among alleys full of history, colorful markets and architecture that tell centuries of domination.

We will lose ourselves in the scents of street food: the arancine, the typical sweets, the spices in the air, the shouting of the city. Palermo is a total, intense, authentic sensory experience.

This is not just a holiday.

It is a journey through sea, nature, emotions and culture, where each stage leaves something inside.

A path that is not forgotten.
