One of southern Italy's greatest natural and cultural gems is the group of islands known as the Aeolians, which are off the coast of northeastern Sicily. The archipelago, which was created over time by volcanic eruptions, is made up of seven islands with distinct identities: Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli, Filicudi, and Alicudi. To tour all seven islands, you'll need at least two weeks, but you can choose your favourits Sicily tours to visit during 1 or to days!
Take your private boat and descover Lipari and Volcano - the closest two islands:
The largest island in the archipelago, Lipari, is an excellent site to start your journey. The island of Lipari has much to offer everyone, from museums to pebble beaches, scenic hiking paths, and a bustling harbor. Don't miss the chance to honor Lipari's geological legacy with a trip through the white-washed Cave di Pomice, a stunning canyon built of pumice stone. The island first drew residents thanks to its natural resources, including obsidian rock and pumice stone.
The island of Vulcano, which was named after the Roman god of fire Vulcan, is notable for its stunning craters that are home to fuming fumaroles that release sulfurous vapors. Given the benefits of its medicinal mud baths and black sand beaches, Vulcano is a well-liked vacation spot. Asino Beach is a perfect location for a day of sunbathing and relaxation while indulging in a freshly baked schiacciata, a pizza loaded with ingredients like mozzarella, capers, and anchovies.
Salina is regarded by many as the most beautiful island in the archipelago due to its two twin peaks, lush valleys, and quaint settlements. It is referred to as the "Isola Verde" (the green island) and is home to several vineyards that make sweet Malvasia dessert wine. For breathtaking views of the island and the surrounding volcanoes Panarea and Stromboli on the horizon, climb up to Fossa delle Felci, a natural sanctuary located inside of an extinct volcano.
A particularly unique location, Stromboli is home to an active volcano that erupts roughly every 20 to 30 minutes. It's a real miracle to enjoy a sunset from the boat during the eruption!
