The islands we will visit along our route will be these. Having 10 / 11 days available it is very likely that we will be able to visit them all.
VOLCANO
It is the first island we will encounter arriving from Capo D'Orlando. Approaching its coasts we will be shocked by its beauty and the acrid smell of sulfur, which completely fills the air surrounding the island. Today its volcanic activity is supported only by the numerous fumaroles that are found near the Gran Cratere. We will try to take a nice walk on the summit of the volcano to admire a breathtaking view of the islands.
LIPARI
The island is the largest and most populated of the archipelago. The ancients called it Maligunis for its mild climate, renowned for the variety of landscapes due to the geological complexity of the territory. It is very famous for pumice stone. Over the millennia it has been shaped by 12 volcanoes, making it so extraordinary. If we make it, we will take a scooter ride around the island, to discover all its most suggestive corners.
SALINA
It is the second largest island, after Lipari, and is famous for its excellent Malvasia (we will try not to drink too much of it ;)) and for its lush vegetation, a characteristic that has made several directors fall in love with it and have chosen it as a location for filming famous movies.
PANAREA
With its four square kilometers it is one of the smallest of the archipelago. It is the ideal landing place for a splendid walk among hibiscus, caper plants and bougainvillea, with a view of the splendid islets, to the east, which act as a frame. We will also go for a beautiful swim in Lisca Bianca, famous for its submerged fumaroles. The island has made itself known over the years, also for being the refuge of famous jet-set personalities at a global level. There are archaeological sites inside the island
STROMBOLI
It is the sister of Vulcano, with which it shares the 'active volcanism and the prerogative of being a micro world. The island is a special destination for those seeking direct contact with nature. For those who want, you can sign up to participate in a guided ascent to the crater of the volcano. If you want, you can also see the Sciara di Fuoco from the sea, obviously going to the northern part of the island, with a small night navigation. There will also be the possibility of taking a beautiful walk to the observatory, a strategic point. Stromboli is certainly one of a kind.
FILICUDI
Filicudi is perfect for nature lovers! Your senses will seem amplified beyond measure, because the absence of city noise will allow you to fully enjoy the sounds of nature, everywhere around you you will smell the sea and the Mediterranean scrub. Needless to say, the sea of Filicudi is particularly beautiful and wild, clear and uncontaminated. Full of inlets and bays easily reachable by boat. Filicudi is not only an island for sea lovers! Even those who love the mountains and long walks will be able to enjoy the island to the fullest. A classic of the Filicuda summer is to participate in the evening aperitif at the Saloon, a legendary place managed for decades by Uncle Nino on the seashore of Pecorini.
ALICUDI
The island of Alicudi is the westernmost of the Aeolian Islands. There are no roads on the island and tourist infrastructure is practically absent.
The island of Alicudi is a small paradise that strikes for its wild and natural soul. The only means of transport are boats for access by sea and mules to transport goods along the mule tracks. Alicudi has beautiful jagged coasts and several spots where you can snorkel, discovering the magnificent marine flora.
PS: The itinerary may change at any time at the captain's discretion, especially due to adverse weather conditions.
