Aeolian Islands Mini Cruise: the islands
Lipari is the largest and most populous island of the Aeolian Islands, the contrast between the blue of the sea and the white of the pumice mountains provide the setting for the stacks “Petra Lunga” and “Petra Menalda.”
We recommend visiting Lipari Castle and the Basicilica of St. Bartholomew, patron saint, inside. Explore the archaeological zone in “Contrada Diana”, also visiting the “Luigi Bernabo Brea” Archaeological Museum. Stroll through the streets of the historic center to immerse yourself in the sights of daily Aeolian life and go shopping.
Vulcano, an island formed by the merger of the two volcanoes “Vulcano della Fossa” and “Vulcanello.” Trekking enthusiasts can climb Vulcano’s main crater, reaching a vantage point with views of the entire Aeolian Islands (inquire locally about any restrictions on hiking at altitude). Visit the thermal waters and famous sulfur muds of Vulcano. We also recommend that you visit the “Horse Cave”, “The Valley of Monsters”, or even just relax along its distinctive black beaches formed by fine sand of volcanic origin.
Panarea is the oldest of the Aeolian islands and is now one of the most popular destinations for international tourism. A visit to the quaint old town, with its whitewashed houses, narrow alleys and St. Peter’s Church, is a must. You cannot miss a visit to the Bay “Cala Junco” with crystal-clear waters enclosed in an amphitheater bordered by rock formations. Relax at the beach “Cala degli Zimmari” with its characteristic reddish beach.
On all cruises with a visit to Panarea you will sail along a micro-archipelago between Lipari and Stromboli consisting of the islets: “Basiluzzo”, “Spinazzola”, “Lisca Bianca”, “Dattilo”, “Bottaro”, “Lisca Nera”, and the rocks of “Panarelli” and “Formiche”.
Stromboli is the northernmost island in the archipelago, here we find one of the most active volcanoes in the world. It is definitely the wildest island in the archipelago. The main attraction is definitely the volcano, but we also recommend visiting Piazza San Vincenzo: looking out from this square you can admire the harbor of Stromboli with the “Strombolicchio” in the distance, the oldest volcano in the Aeolian Islands. You will be able to fully appreciate the famous “Sciara del Fuoco” while sailing.
