8 DAYS, 7 NIGHTS

SATURDAY: MILAZZO – LIPARI
Arrive at Catania Airport and transfer to the port of Milazzo. At 5:00 pm, the captain and crew will welcome you aboard the ship. Passengers arriving at the port before 5:00 pm can leave their bags on board and take a walk through Milazzo. Welcome cocktail and briefing where the captain will give the main indications and information about life on board. At 5:30 pm, departure to Lipari and arrival on the island scheduled for approximately 8:30 pm. Lipari is the largest island of the Aeolian Islands by extension, with natural beauty and attractions such as the Castle, the Archaeological Museum, the San Calogero Thermal Baths, and Monte Guardia with the International Geophysical Observatory. Dinner on your own and night on board.

SUNDAY: STROMBOLI
Today we will set sail from the Bay of Sant’Antonio with breakfast. Lunch in the splendid setting of Basiluzzo, where the sea colors will take your breath away, and continue to the island of Stromboli. You can decide whether to visit the town or climb the crater (about 900m, 4 hours of walking) if the authorities allow it. They recommended free dinner at the “Observatory” restaurant to admire the volcano and its activities.

MONDAY: PANAREA
After breakfast, we will go to Panarea. During the navigation, it will be possible to observe the rock of Strombolicchio and the Sciara del Fuoco. Stop near Lisca Bianca, where we can bathe in the sulfurous showers and enjoy the jagged coastline, full of inlets and suggestive views. Lunch on board and in the afternoon excursion to Cala Junco, a town used as a pier in prehistoric times and considered one of the most beautiful bays, not only on the island but in the entire Aeolian archipelago. Anchoring stop near the port of the island. Tender service h24.

TUESDAY: LIPARI
Immediately after breakfast, around 9:00 am, sailing to the largest of the Aeolian Islands, Lipari. We will stop near the pumice mountains, where the sea is crystal clear, and the bottom is gravel. We will almost feel that we are on one of the most remote beaches in the Caribbean. After lunch, the captain will take us to one of the most famous bays on the island, docking at the port of Marina Corta, where we can tour the island to discover its streets and views and taste local products. Dinner on your own and anchoring night.

WEDNESDAY: FILICUDI
Departure at 8:00 am to the island of Filicudi, one of the most virgin islands of the archipelago. Stop to take a bath in the Bue Marino cave. Magical and exciting, thanks to the games that nature creates inside, it gives the spectators beautiful effects. Chromatic, accompanied by the breaking of the waves on the rock, whose noise is reminiscent of the roar of the ox. Lunch at anchorage and transfer to the town of Pecorini a Mare. The most curious can opt for a tour of the island and watch the sunset. Night on board.

THURSDAY: SALINE
At 8:30 am, departure for the island of Salina, with a stop to swim in Pollara, chosen by Massimo Troisi for the filming of the film “Il Postino.” Lunch on board. After a quick navigation, we will enter the port in the afternoon. You can choose different excursion solutions, from the most classic Alfredo granita to wine tasting directly from the producer or, for the more sporty, the ascent to Mount Fossa delle Felci. Night in the port.

FRIDAY: VULCANO / MILAZZO
Now it is the end of our tour. We will set sail at 9:00 am to the island of Vulcano for the last dive or to make the ascent to the crater. Around lunchtime, we will border the island of Vulcano, admiring the cave of the horse and the pool of Venus, continuing to Milazzo, where the return is scheduled at 6:00 pm. We recommend visiting the city center and the characteristic old town of Milazzo. Free dinner and accommodation in port.
