If you're eager to discover the splendor of nature and the allure of history, our boat trip to Lipari, Panarea, and Sciara del Fuoco is the perfect choice. Set sail with us and explore the enchanting beauty of the Aeolian Islands, where you'll encounter unforgettable sights.
You can choose to depart from either Vibo Valentia or Tropea. Once on board, our first destination will be the picturesque island of Lipari. We will stop here for about 3 hours, giving you ample time to visit the historic Castello di Lipari, stroll through the charming old town, or take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters. You can also enjoy lunch at one of the island's delightful local restaurants if you wish.
Next, we'll journey to the stunning island of Panarea, where we will spend approximately 2 hours and a half. Here, you can explore the ancient ruins of Capo Milazzese, dating back to 1400 BC, or relax on the beautiful beaches. This stop also provides an opportunity to dine in one of Panarea's renowned restaurants.
Afterward, we'll set course for Porto Scari on the island of Stromboli, where we’ll stay for approximately 3 hours. While there, you can stroll through the charming village of San Vincenzo, walk along the black sand beaches, or swim in the cobalt-blue waters.
The highlight of our journey will be the Sciara del Fuoco on the island of Stromboli, where you'll witness the spectacular sight of volcanic eruptions. We'll position ourselves in the perfect spot to admire this natural wonder for about 20 minutes, as the night sky is illuminated by the glowing lava flows.
