Lipari, Milazzo, Panarea, Salina, Stromboli, Vulcano,
A beautiful cruise aboard a characteristic gulet to fall in love with the pearls of the Tyrrhenian Sea: the Aeolian Islands. The gentle and slow sailing of the gulet makes this boat the ideal solution for wandering among the most hidden and wonderful places of the Aeolian Islands, UNESCO World Heritage Site.
With our Gulet we will sail to the discovery of some of the most fascinating places of the Aeolian Islands reachable only by boat. The coves of Vulcano, the cave of the horse and the pool of Venus, which legend has it is a place of regeneration of virginity. Our journey will continue through the Menalda stacks of Lipari and the beach of Valle Muria; we will discover the Lingua lake in Salina, stopping for a tasting of Alfredo’s famous granita. We will then take the route to the island of Panarea to admire the large rocky ridges of Basiluzzo and Lisca Bianca. A must for a tasting of typical Aeolian products. Finally, we will sail towards Stromboli: after having circumnavigated the Strombolicchio, in the evening we will be able to enjoy the spectacle of nature “La Sciara del Fuoco” with the continuous and rhythmic explosive activity of Stromboli, or Iddu for the inhabitants of the place.

Breakfast and free morning to visit the small village of the island, its central square with the church of San Vincenzo . The island is world famous because it offers the possibility to carry out, with authorized personnel, the excursion on top of the crater . The activity lasts about 6 hours and requires a minimum of physical preparation. The effort is rewarded by a show, 800 meters high, absolutely unforgettable.

In the evening, having dinner comfortably, we will admire the show of La Sciara del Fuoco , the Stromboli with its continuous eruptions will give the evening an extraordinary charm.
Breakfast and morning dedicated to the circumnavigation of Panarea , the smallest of the Aeolian Islands . Formerly called by the first Greek colonizers (VI-V century BC) PANARAYAS , or La grandissima , owes its name to its ancient breadth, in fact the geological and eruptive activity has profoundly changed the look of the island over the millennia that literally collapsed a large part of the volcanic complex in the sea, so much so that even today the island continues slowly to sink below the water level (approximately one centimeter every 10 years).
Panarea has been for a long time the largest island in the Aeolian archipelago, and this is evidenced by the presence of a series of islets in the north-east of the island ( Basiluzzo, Spinazzola, Lisca Bianca, Lisca Nera, Bottaro and Dattilo ) deriving from eruptive phenomena of a single, immense, original volcanic complex sunk into the sea following a violent eruption.
The volcanological activity is still clearly visible on the island right in front of one of these islets, Dattilo , where it is possible to see fumaroles of vapors rising between the cracks between the rocks and where the water reaches high temperatures and intense is the smell of sulfur that rises from the depths of the sea.
The last curiosity for diving fans is the presence in Basiluzzo of a small port and a terrace of a Roman villa on the sea floor, evidence of a time when the island was much larger than today.
Dinner and overnight stay.
