This experience, in a nutshell

The fundamental importance in the geological and naturalistic field is the reason why UNESCO, in 2000, included the Aeolian Islands in the "World Heritage List". For 200 years, in fact, the seven sisters of the archipelago (Lipari, Panarea, Vulcano, Stromboli, Salina, Alicudi, Filicudi) have represented an extraordinary field of research for geologists from all over the world.

Without forgetting that ash, lava and all the material erupted over the millennia has contributed decisively to the preservation of many finds from ancient times, transforming the Aeolian Islands into a large open-air archaeological park.


As in the best families, the seven sister islands that make up the Aeolian archipelago also have different characters, attitudes and ambitions. However, they have in common a sea that shines, the volcanic origin, the harsh hinterland fragrant with Mediterranean scrub.

Between fishing villages and pebble beaches, the itinerary that leads from Lipari to Vulcano with an obligatory passage to Salina, Panarea up to Stromboli is based on picturesque corners in which to dive but also culture, archaeology, good food and views with breathtaking sunsets.

Leg 2

Volcano and Salina

We begin our sailing with a course on the Island of Vulcano for the first Aeolian swim of the holiday in the wonderful waters of the Grotta del Cavallo and Piscine di Venere. In the afternoon we will continue towards the island of Salina, where we will anchor for the night in the harbor of Santa Marina Salina. We will evaluate whether to have dinner on the boat or go ashore in the characteristic village of Lingua for a delicious taste of pane cunzato, a typical dish of the Aeolian tradition, made with a large loaf lightly toasted and filled with typical products of the Salina area (capers, cucunci, eggplant, dried tomatoes).

Leg 3

Santa Marina Salina and Filicudi

Visit to the village of Santa Marina Salina for a walk and a first taste of the delicious Aeolian granita. Route to the island of Filicudi where we will take a beautiful swim in the pristine waters of Capo Graziano and, when we are tired of relaxing in this wonderful place, we will move to the small fishing village of Pecorini a Mare for an aperitif at sunset in one of the typical and characteristic seaside cafes.

Leg 4

Pollara and Panarea

We will take us to the Bay of Pollara, on the west side of the island of Salina. The hamlet of Pollara stands on the remains of an ancient volcanic crater that has partially collapsed. In addition to its natural beauty and landscape, Pollara is one of the most famous places in the Aeolian Islands for the film Il Postino. In this place of enchanting natural beauty and crystal clear sea, we will dive for a beautiful swim and some snorkeling along the coast. In the afternoon we will sail to the island of Panarea. Once we arrive we will evaluate whether to spend the night moored in the roadstead or in a buoy field. Both solutions will allow us to go ashore to appreciate the beautiful village made of white houses and to enjoy a magical atmosphere with breathtaking views and good music.

Leg 5

Baths in Panarea and Stromboli

We will take a beautiful swim in the waters between the Bottaro rock and Lisca Bianca where it will be possible to snorkel and admire the sulphurous emissions. In the afternoon we head to the island of Stromboli, one of the few volcanoes on earth in almost continuous activity. We'll spend the night moored in a buoy field, from where it will be possible to disembark and return to the boat comfortably. You cannot miss a beautiful walk at sunset to reach the Island Observatory from where it will be possible to appreciate the gush and explosions of lava in a naturalistic and super suggestive environment. For those interested, it will be possible to join a group trek, accompanied by a tour guide, to reach a higher observation point.

Leg 6

Baths in Cala Junco and Lipari

Before reaching Lipari we will make an intermediate stop in Panarea to visit the beautiful Cala Junco, where we will have lunch in absolute relaxation surrounded by a breathtaking landscape. In the afternoon we will sail towards Lipari for a dip in the blue waters of the White Beach: located just beyond the village of Canneto, the beach owes its name to the spectacular expanse of pumice powder that makes up its suggestive beach. We will spend the night moored in one of the marinas on the seafront, a few minutes walk from the center of Lipari. We will not miss a splendid walk through the narrow streets of the center, where there are numerous clubs and souvenir shops. We will reach Marina Corta, certainly one of the most evocative points of the village of Lipari, with its splendid square on the sea and the many restaurants where you can taste excellent local fish and the highly appreciated Aeolian cuisine.

Leg 7

Lipari and donkey beach

Breakfast reinforced with the best of Lipari's pastries that offer one of the best granitas in the Aeolian Islands, to be enjoyed strictly with hot brioche. After spending some time buying some souvenirs in the many bazaars of the main street, we will sail to the southern coast of the island of Vulcano to reach the donkey beach, a small tropical corner on a volcanic island, a real daydream. Characterized by a beautiful black beach of sand mixed with gravel, it has a blue and clear sea, almost transparent. After a bit of relaxation, we will continue our sail to return to the Marina di Portorosa, with arrival expected around 17:00. Greetings and last toasts of the holiday with the skipper.

Notre expérience de voyage en voilier autour des îles Éoliennes avec Antonino comme capitaine a été inoubliable. À l'écoute de nos besoins, il a su créer une atmosphère détendue et conviviale malgré l'espace restreint du bateau. Antonino est un navigateur hors pair, maîtrisant parfaitement son voilier et connaissant les eaux et le sites des iles Éoliennes. Son expertise nous a permis de découvrir des lieux magnifiques. Une aventure maritime que je recommande vivement à tous les amateurs de mer et de nature.

Un’esperienza favolosa e indimenticabile! Antonio ci ha portato nei posti giusti al momento giusto. Non avremmo potuto chiedere niente di più. Oltre che skipper esperto è anche un bravissimo chef. I pranzi in barca a base di pesce non li dimenticheremo presto. Grazie!

Splendida vacanza grazie alla competenza e simpatia di Antonino che da perfetto conoscitore delle Eolie ci ha fatto visitare i luoghi migliori. E' stato sempre disponibile a proporre alternative di itinerario ed anche a modifiche (anche grazie all'ottimo meteo!). Super consigliato! Ciao Antonino da tutti noi!

Very nice experience with Antonino. He's very professional and concerned with our needs. Despite the bad weather for a few days, we were still able to cover almost all the places to visit and had a unique and interesting vacation.
