3 DAYS TOUR TO
THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS
Do you dream of a holiday capable of making you feel truly at one with nature and the
sea, completely immersed in the most ancient traditions of Southern Italy?
So why not rent our sailing boat and be guided by an expert skipper to discover the
landscapes and culture of the Aeolian Islands?
An archipelago with a thousand faces, islands different from each other that look at each
other and communicate with each other in an ecosystem unique in terms of beauty,
naturalistic richness and authenticity.
A special occasion to let yourself be transported by romantic and true horizons, from the
privileged point of view of the water, in the comfort of an unparalleled vessel.
Why choose the Aeolian Islands?
It is one of the paradises for lovers of the sun and the sea, an archipelago overlooking
Cilento and Sicily, drinking in the classical and baroque culture of these lands and being
able to count on some of the most authentic landscape views in Italy.
In the archipelago it is possible to find inspiration, secluded corners in which to
contemplate nature while relaxing (especially in Vulcano and Stromboli), but also great
vitality, with the many clubs of Panarea and the bustling streets of Lipari.
Our itineraries
Possibility to leave from Giardini Naxos the evening before the tour starts, or directly from Milazzo the same morning.
LIPARI – STROMBOLI – PANAREA
Friday: departure by 10.00 am headed to Lipari, Pomice Cave.
We anchor the boat in front of the abandoned factories that worked the stone extracted from the ground, a product that had a large market in the last century. Lunch and then we go to the port for a walk in the ancient village, and possibly for dinner.
It is worth walking along the main street, Marina Corta, and taking a look at the shops that are open until late.
Saturday: departure by 10.00 am headed to Stromboli. Almost an hour of navigation, but the swim in Ginostra will make you understand that it was worth the long wait. Bath, quick lunch, then we head to the village of Stromboli, to take a tour of the town.
You can choose to have an aperitif on board, have dinner in the village, and then head towards Panarea, where we will spend the night, sailing along the Sciara del Fuoco.
Sunday: wake-up call at anchor, breakfast and tour of the island. You can go to Cala Junco, Basiluzzo, or Lisca Bianca, before heading towards Lipari where a different evening awaits us. Take it easy, there's no rush. A dip in the water, snorkeling, lunch on board, and around 3.00 pm we head towards Milazzo, where we arrive at around 6.00 pm.
SALINA – PANAREA – VULCANO
Friday: departure by 10.00 am headed to Santa Marina Salina. We can go ashore for a tour of the village, or for shopping, or we can head to "Lingua", a small hamlet to the south of the island where we can taste the "Pane cunsatu", or what are considered, perhaps not wrongly, the best granitas on the Islands. We then head towards Pollara beach, made famous by the film "Il Postino" by Massimo Troisi. It is a magical place to see especially at sunset. The bay in front will be an excellent place to spend the night. Dinner on board or in one of the nearby restaurants.
Saturday: wake up in the harbor, breakfast and after a regenerating swim, you can head towards to Panarea. It is perhaps the most chic and worldly of the Aeolian islands. Arriving before lunch allows us to anchor near Cala Junco, on whose promontory the remains of prehistoric villages have been found. The bathroom in this cove remains one of the most suggestive things. In the evening you can have an aperitif in one of the many bars on the island, or, after dinner, go dancing in some of the most renowned nightclubs.
Sunday: talking about the usual wake-up call, or the usual breakfast, makes no sense in the Aeolian Islands. Every bay, every cove, has a particular, unique charm, the colors are always different and above all the sea at dawn has a scent and nuances that will remain imprinted in your memory for a long time. As soon as the crew is ready, we set sail towards the island of Vulcano, the closest of the Aeolian Islands to the Sicilian coast.
It is one of the most evocative, with its stacks and its black beaches. And what about the mud baths which are perhaps one of the oldest thermal baths still active in the world? We can continue our stay by bathing in the nearby Hot Waters, go to lunch, or decide to have a quick aperitif to make the most of the natural offerings of the place.
Finally we head towards Milazzo, where we arrive at around 6.00 pm.
