A land of fire and wind, Vulcano is the harshest, wildest and most magnetic of the Aeolian Islands. It is here that nature reveals itself in all its power. Here are a few suggestions for experiencing it to the fullest:
• Climb the volcano’s crater, cross lunar landscapes and breathe in the scent of sulphur.
• Immerse yourself in the sulphurous thermal waters of Levante Bay, which regenerate body and mind.
• Relax on the black-sand beach of Sabbie Nere, where the volcanic sand creates a fascinating contrast with the turquoise sea.
• Explore Grotta del Cavallo and the Pool of Venus, magical places that can only be reached by sea, where the water takes on extraordinary shades.
• Do not miss the trek to the Valley of the Monsters. Discover the history of this isthmus and its three craters, and how its “monsters” have shaped the surrounding landscape.
The eldest of the Aeolian Islands, Lipari stands out for its vibrant soul, with its charming lively historic centre and its wonderful white beaches. If you want to make the most of every corner of it, you should:
• Visit Lipari Castle and the Archaeological Museum, to take home a piece of the island’s ancient history.
• Discover its most beautiful beaches, such as Spiaggia Bianca, with its pale seabed and crystal-clear waters, and Valle Muria, a secluded corner framed by red cliffs.
• Stroll through the streets of the centre, stop at a seafront restaurant and enjoy a well-deserved plate of Aeolian pasta with capers and cherry tomatoes grown here.
Here we are on the lushest island of the Aeolian archipelago, a paradise of nature and authentic flavours. Here, time truly slows down, among evocative vineyards, breathtaking cliffs and air scented with capers. The experiences we recommend are:
• Trekking up to Monte Fossa delle Felci, the highest peak in the Aeolian Islands, with its spectacular views.
• Malvasia, the island’s typical sweet wine, to be enjoyed while exploring the local wineries.
• Reliving the atmosphere of the film Il Postino, by strolling among the colourful houses of Pollara and looking out over the bay where Massimo Troisi shot some of its most iconic scenes.
• A dip in the crystal-clear waters of Cala Pollara, one of the most enchanting bays in the archipelago.
What a spectacle Stromboli is. Dominated by its still-active volcano, the island knows how to offer unique emotions. Yet the lava that lights up the night is not its only attraction. Discover what the island of fire has to reveal:
• Choose to climb the volcano at sunset, accompanied by expert guides, and witness the spectacular nighttime eruptions of the Sciara del Fuoco.
• Sail around the island at dusk, to admire the volcano from the sea as its explosions light up the night.
• Relax on its black-sand beaches, including Ficogrande Beach, with its crystal-clear sea.
The most mysterious, quiet and perhaps also the most authentic of all seven Aeolian sisters, Filicudi and Alicudi are the ideal choice if you are looking for unspoilt nature. Looking for some recommendations?
• In Filicudi, there is a trail leading to Capo Graziano, if you would like to immerse yourself in ancient prehistoric villages and breathtaking views.
• The Grotta del Bue Marino is a magical place where the sea is tinged with countless incredible shades of blue.
• Alicudi is easy to explore on foot, with its lava-stone stairways and views that fade into the horizon.
• A boat trip around the islands, among majestic cliffs and hidden bays, can be the perfect finale to your tour.
Panarea is the most exclusive island, a small corner of paradise where time slows down among white houses, flower-filled terraces and chic boutiques. What would you like to devote yourself to today? The choice is yours.
• Snorkelling among the islets of Lisca Bianca and Basiluzzo, immersed in a turquoise, crystal-clear sea.
• Soaking up the glamorous atmosphere of the harbour, among chic aperitifs and candlelit dinners with a view of the sea. • Reaching Punta Milazzese at sunset, to enjoy yet another enchanting view over the Aeolian Islands.
