This experience, in a nutshell

Leaving Palermo means starting your holiday in the best possible way: easily, without racing against time, in a city that already tastes of the Mediterranean, where you can breathe culture, history and hospitality. Once you have cast off, you leave the mainland and enter a different rhythm: that of the sea, the wind, the sun rising and setting on ever new horizons.


Sailing to the Aeolian Islands is already part of the experience. You become familiar with the boat, with the crew, with the time slowing down. You begin to experience the sea from the inside, leaving behind the routine and rediscovering the pleasure of simple things.


The Aeolian Islands are not just islands: they are places that speak to the soul. Seven different sisters, each with their own character, their own energy, their own strength. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, they show themselves in all their wild, authentic and never banal charm. Just like the seven chakras, each one represents an emotion, a vibration, a nuance of the human soul. Visiting these islands from the sea is an experience that involves all the senses, and that remains etched inside.


On a boat, you live day by day: you explore bays that seem to be designed, you snorkel in transparent waters, you cook together or go ashore for a typical dinner, you sleep under the stars or wake up to the sound of the waves. A special balance is created between freedom and sharing, between nature and discovery.


You don't need to be an expert sailor, you just need to want to be surprised. On board you will find a welcoming, relaxed environment in which you can feel at home, even if you are in the middle of the sea. My goal is to make you live an intense, authentic week, made up of moments that remain!


And on the way back, when you return to Palermo with your face kissed by the sun and your heart full of emotions, you understand that this was not just a holiday: it was a journey that leaves its mark.

Leg 1

Alicudi about Filicudi

The departure is scheduled from Cala di Palermo to head to Alicudi or Filicudi, the wildest and most unspoiled. In Filicudi you cannot fail to anchor in Pecorini where a rich variety of local dishes will await you on land to represent the best that Sicily has to offer at the table.

Leg 2

Salina

Salina, the green island, surprises with its natural elegance and its perfect balance between land and sea. The stacks that rise from the deep blue invite you to unforgettable dives, while the panoramic paths offer spectacular views of vineyards and hills. Its village, well-kept and welcoming, is the perfect place for an evening stroll and an unforgettable granita.

Leg 3

Panarea

Panarea is the island of the contrast between wild nature and social life. Its rocky bays are perfect for suggestive anchorages, while the small white village conquers with its narrow streets, elegant clubs and sparkling atmosphere. Those looking for a touch of glamour will find it here without forcing, immersed in a postcard landscape.

Leg 4

Stromboli

Stromboli is the island of fire and primordial power. Its active volcano, which gives its name to the type of Strombolian eruption, offers unique night shows, especially if experienced from the boat or after a hike to the summit with torches. And then there is Strombolicchio, the mythical rock that stands out against the sky. For those looking for strong emotions, Stromboli is an unforgettable stop.

Leg 5

Lipari

Lipari, the largest of the archipelago, is history, culture and beauty. Its castle has resisted attacks from the sea for centuries, and today offers a spectacular vantage point. The churches, the narrow streets of the center, the roadsteads with clear seabeds and the famous white pumice beach make up a perfect mosaic for those who want to explore, relax and discover.

Leg 6

Volcano

Finally, Vulcan impresses with its magnetic energy and its lunar landscape. The thermal pools, with their sulphurous scent, are a true sensory experience, while the trek to the crater offers one of the most exciting views of the entire archipelago. Going up there and seeing the other islands from a single point is something that remains etched forever.

The hidden jewels of the Aeolian Islands sailing from Palermo

The destination is beautiful and you can see the main areas of the islands. Unfortunately the time available is short to visit them well considering that the first and penultimate day are travel and that the last morning is only for check out. The experience overall went well but was partly ruined by the fact that the refrigerator never reached a food storage temperature because every time we stopped it was turned off. Unfortunately we had to throw away a lot of food that went bad since the cockpit was perpetually at room temperature. It would probably be enough to warn the crew in advance not to buy food that needs to be in the refrigerator. The boat is good for 6 passengers in addition to the skipper. In 8 people it is a little cramped, especially in the room with 3 beds. The cushions around the table and the rudder (as visible in the current photos 6, 8 and 14) would also have been useful. I recommend putting them on for the next charter to be more comfortable.

Nice experience, great places. The skipper was very helpful, he complied with our requests with kindness. Light and pleasant climate. To report some carelessness regarding the cleaning of the boat and kitchen utensils (absence of tea towels, knives for cooking, cutlery tray not very hygienic). During the week the refrigerator worked in alternating phases, with some problems with food preservation. Although Gaetano has always been available, he is to be solicited several times for the various inconveniences that can happen. Solid and comfortable boat for 6 people, in 7 you are cramped especially in the room for 3 but on the other hand you earn an excellent value for money.
