This experience, in a nutshell

The fundamental importance in the geological and naturalistic field is the reason why UNESCO, in 2000, included the Aeolian Islands in the "World Heritage List". For 200 years, in fact, the seven sisters of the archipelago (Lipari, Panarea, Vulcano, Stromboli, Salina, Alicudi, Filicudi) have represented an extraordinary field of research for geologists from all over the world.

Without forgetting that the ash, lava and all the material erupted over the millennia has contributed decisively to the preservation of many finds from ancient times, transforming the Aeolian Islands into a large open-air archaeological park.


As in the best families, the seven sister islands that make up the Aeolian archipelago also have different characters, attitudes and ambitions. What they have in common, however, is a shining sea, volcanic origin, and a rugged hinterland scented with Mediterranean scrub.

Between fishing villages and pebble beaches, the itinerary that leads from Lipari to Vulcano with an obligatory passage to Salina, Panarea up to Stromboli is based on picturesque corners in which to dive but also culture, archaeology, good food and views with sunsets that leave you breathless.

The departure for the Island of Vulcano is scheduled in the early hours of the morning, since a nice sail will await us towards the first stage and the first Aeolian bath of the holiday: Grotta del Cavallo and Piscine di Venere. In the afternoon our sailing will continue towards the Island of Salina, where we will anchor for the night in the roadstead of Santa Marina Salina. Dinner on the ground with the delicious pane cunzato, a typical dish of the Aeolian tradition, made with a large loaf lightly toasted and filled with typical products of the Salina area (capers, cucunci, eggplant, dried tomatoes).

Sunday

Leg 3

Monday

We will take us to the Bay of Pollara, on the west side of the island of Salina. The hamlet of Pollara stands on the remains of an ancient volcanic crater that has partially collapsed. In addition to its natural beauty and landscape, Pollara is one of the most famous places in the Aeolian Islands for the film Il Postino. In this place of enchanting natural beauty and crystal clear sea, we will dive in for a beautiful swim and snorkeling  along the coast. In the afternoon we will sail to the island of Panarea. We will spend the night moored in a buoy field near the port of the island, from where we will be able to disembark and return comfortably thanks to the shuttle service. An excellent aperitif on land will be waiting for us, immersed in a magical atmosphere and good music.

Monday

Leg 4

Tuesday

We will go between the rock of Bottaro and Lisca Bianca  where it will be possible to snorkel and admire the  sulphurous emissions. In the afternoon we set course on the island of Stromboli, one of the few volcanoes on earth in almost continuous activity. We will spend the night moored in a buoy field near the port of the island, from where we will be able to disembark on land and return comfortably. Upon reservation, it will be possible to participate in the group excursion, with a specialized guide, to climb the volcano at sunset and observe the fire show up close; Once on land, it will be possible to rent the necessary equipment to participate in the excursion in total safety. It will also be possible to book dinner at the restaurant-pizzeria Osservatorio, from where you will be able to observe the spectacle of volcanic explosions in an extremely evocative naturalistic environment.

Tuesday

Leg 5

Wednesday

Before reaching Lipari we will make an intermediate stop in Panarea to visit the beautiful Cala Junco, where we will have lunch in absolute relaxation surrounded by a breathtaking landscape. In the afternoon we will sail towards Lipari for a dip in the blue waters of the White Beach: located just beyond the village of Canneto, the beach owes its name to the spectacular expanse of pumice dust that makes up its suggestive beach. We will spend the night moored in one of the marinas on the seafront, a few minutes walk from the center of Lipari. We will not miss a wonderful walk through the narrow streets of the center, where there are numerous bars and souvenir shops. We will reach Marina Corta, certainly one of the most evocative points of the village of Lipari, with its beautiful square by the sea and the many restaurants where you can taste excellent local fish and the highly appreciated Aeolian cuisine.

Wednesday

Leg 6

Thursday

Breakfast reinforced with the best of Lipari's pastry shop that offers one of the best granita of the Aeolian Islands, to be enjoyed strictly with hot brioche. After doing some shopping among the many bazaars of the course, we will set sail for the Praia di Vinci beach, from where we will admire a wonderful panorama dominated by the stacks. Lunch on board cooked by the Skipper with spaghetti with Aeolian squid sauce !! In the evening we will go to the nearby island of Vulcano, where we will still face the characteristic black sand beach. We will go ashore with the help of the tender for an aperitif on the beach and to enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in the Aeolian Islands. Dinner on the soft volcanic sand beach with a great pizza.

Thursday

Leg 7

Friday

In the early hours of the morning it will be possible to organize a hike to the crater of the volcano, which can be reached through a not very demanding route of about 30 minutes. Once you reach the summit, you will be able to appreciate the crater up close and admire a wonderful view of the entire archipelago. Afterwards we will take us to the southern coast of the island of Vulcano to reach the Gelso beach, a small tropical corner in a volcanic island, a real daydream. Characterized by a beautiful black beach of sand mixed with gravel, it has a clear blue sea, almost transparent. After a bit of relaxation, we will continue our sailing to return to Marina di Portorosa, with arrival expected around 17:00. Greetings and last toasts of the holiday with the skipper.

Very nice experience with Antonino. He's very professional and concerned with our needs. Despite the bad weather for a few days, we were still able to cover almost all the places to visit and had a unique and interesting vacation.
