Details
Make your holiday in Taormina truly unforgettable with this boat trip to Panarea and Stromboli. You will discover the smallest of the Aeolian Islands and witness the volcanic activity of Stromboli at sunset, a truly unique experience!
We will depart from Taormina by private bus with a guide on board that will take us to Milazzo, from where we will embark on a private motorboat and navigate to the island of Panarea. During the approximately 1.5-hours journey, a guide will explain the characteristics of the Aeolian Islands. Once we arrive in Panarea, you will have about two hours to walk around its typical blue and white houses, reach one of the beaches or see a particular prehistoric village which is about a 45-minute walk from the harbour. We recommend having lunch at one of the island's fantastic restaurants.
In the afternoon, we will head towards Stromboli, passing by the island of Basiluzzo. You will have about two hours to visit Stromboli on your own, and discover its black sandy beaches and paths through the maquis. At sunset, we will return to the boat and observe the Sciara di Fuoco, from which we can see the volcano's explosions. At the end of this exciting day, we will return to Milazzo and take the bus back to Taormina.
