Details
Treat yourself to a day of total relaxation with our boat trip to Lipari and Vulcano! You will have the opportunity to visit two of the Aeolian Islands as you have never seen them before. We will meet at Milazzo harbour and the beautiful island of Lipari will be our first stop.
Here you will have about two and a half hours to explore the island on your own and our staff will be happy to give you advice on what to visit. One of the best ways to enjoy the breathtaking scenery is to take the bus tour, but you can also walk through the colourful and picturesque streets. You can also visit the famous castle, inside which you will find the Basilica of San Bartolomeo, the patron saint of Lipari. You are also welcome to bring your own packed lunch or use our snack bar on the ship.
Our second stop will be the island of Vulcano, where you can choose to take a therapeutic bath in the thermal waters, climb the Main Crater or simply relax along the beautiful beach. At the end of our adventure, we will return to the port of Milazzo.

I booked a trip to Lipari and Vulcano, but the boat only took us to Vulcano. The price was absolutely unjustified.

A mini cruise of about eight hours is certainly not ideal, but it certainly gives you the opportunity to decide whether the destinations it offers are worthwhile. That said, if your goal is to have a pleasant day, certainly piquing interest and a desire to return at a more leisurely pace, I'd give it five stars. My wife and I appreciated the staff's kindness and helpfulness. We had a lot of freedom and essential, valuable information. A positive assessment, both for the staff and the places we visited. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to delve deeper.
