Vacanza molto divertente, compagnia fantastica. Tutto organizzato bene. Unica nota negativa i costi extra riportati sul sito sono molto diversi da quelli sostenuti durante la vacanza, credo servirebbe più trasparenza in modo da potersi organizzare.

Sail to the Aeolian Islands: discover the "7 sisters" by flotilla

The seven Aeolian Islands, also known as the "seven sisters" of Sicily, have been declared by UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to their natural diversity. Each island is a world, all different and all extraordinary.

A flotilla vacation will allow you to enjoy exceptional views. You can stop in the middle of Lipari's cliffs or visit the Sciara del Fuoco by boat at night and watch the lava flow into the sea, giving the waters a deep reddish color.

This beautiful volcanic archipelago owes its name to the wind god Aeolus, who has always ruled here along with Vulcan, the god of fire. The elements that have shaped the region make it rough at times with its sheer cliffs, whose rock varies from the white of pumice to the dark red of basalt and the golden hue of sulfur.

A unique and exceptional landscape with a multitude of hidden treasures and hard to reach places. Only a sailing vacation can reveal to you all the charm of the secret places of the Aeolian Islands.

Waking up on a different island every day: a thousand things to do and a thousand places to visit

Sailing on a flotilla means visiting an island every day of the week with new friends. During the day, you'll sail to dream destinations with other boats full of travelers like you, and in the evening, you can celebrate an unforgettable boat party in the middle of Italian paradise.

Lipari

Lipari is the largest island of the seven sisters, with plenty of history to tell, as this island was invaded over 4,000 years ago by Europeans in search of obsidian from the volcanoes of the Aeolian Islands. But other peoples have also passed through here, including Arabs, Greeks, Romans...

Salina

Salina is known for its great production of wine and malvasia and also has extinct volcanoes. In addition, its waters are home to a wide variety of marine species, making it a wonderful area for a snorkeling session.

Panarea

The nightlife of Panarea is not easily forgotten, with a party atmosphere at night and can be considered one of the coolest islands to party on a boat or in the bars of the village itself.

Stromboli

The Stromboli is a fairly active volcano due to its constant reactions; take a boat trip at night to see the red lava glowing in the dark ocean.

Alicudi and Filicudi

Finally, Alicudi and Filicudi, these islands are much wilder than the others, you can dive in the waters surrounding these islands to explore a seabed full of wrecks, the area is perfect for scuba divers.

Traveling on a flotilla is an unforgettable experience, you will make new friends, do activities you never imagined you could do and visit the secret hideaways of the Aeolian Islands, places that, due to their difficult access by land, are unique and almost untouched by man.
