Lipari and its sisters:
the Aeolian Islands

Lipari is the ideal starting point for an exciting adventure immersed in the elements of nature: Earth, Fire, Water and Air, which in these beautiful islands of Sicily meet and collide daily.

The largest and liveliest island in the archipelago will welcome you and amaze you with its Castle, the characteristic alleyways that flank the main street, the beautiful panoramic viewpoints but above all coves and wonderful beaches where you can relax after a rich day of discovery.

At the port you will find the characteristic private gozzo boat with which you will reach the fascinating Vulcano for an exciting boat tour of the island.

From the unique perspective of the sea, you can admire natural beauties such as Vulcanello and the Bay of Black Sands, before reaching the famous Grotta del Cavallo and the nearby Piscina di Venere which together make up one of the most exciting coastal landscapes on the island.

And finally, you will visit the village of Gelso, a small village known for its tiny bay of black sand and its lighthouse, where you can cool off with a relaxing dip in the clear waters of the Aeolian Islands.

After a short cruise aboard a characteristic gozzo, you will reach the land of capers and Malvasia, for a beautiful boat ride around the island.

While sailing, it will be fantastic to admire the famous bay of Pollara with its characteristic “Balate”, known for having been the set where some scenes of “Il Postino” by Massimo Troisi were filmed.

Along fantastic cliffs and cliffs shaped by nature, in between chatter and dips in the enchanting sea of the Aeolian Islands, you enter the port.

From here, a driver/guide will accompany you to the most beautiful places in Salina: from Santa Marina to the romantic hamlet of Lingua, where there is the salt lake to which the island owes its name; from Leni to the village of Rinella, where there is the only sandy beach on the island; from Malfa to the charming village of Pollara.

A worthy way to end the day will be a very interesting visit to the cellar of a well-known local winery where the wine is still produced using traditional techniques, using Malvasia grapes and the rare Corinto Rosso grape variety.

You will then get to take part in a tasting tour of the company’s wines, accompanied by delicious snacks prepared with local products.

As soon as you land you will immediately feel the energy that exudes from this island and from “Iddu” (Stromboli), the only volcano in Europe and among the few in the world permanently active!

Leaving the port you can browse the town, crossing steep streets flanked by prickly pears, caper plants, flowers and typical shops where you can taste the local delicacies; before reaching the panoramic Piazza San Vincenzo.

From here, which is the best viewpoint on the island, you will admire a spectacular view of the Mediterranean with a privileged view of Strombolicchio.

For an unforgettable experience, you can opt to take part in a group excursion for a climb to the crater of Stromboli, where the fatigue from about 3 hours of walking will be largely rewarded by the incredible spectacle of magma explosions.
