The mini cruise begins with a visit to Vulcano, the island closest to the Sicilian coast and renowned for its intense volcanic activity. Here, you can explore the Gran Cratere della Fossa, an impressive smoking crater that dominates the landscape, and observe the fumaroles releasing sulphurous vapours. The island’s thermal waters, known for their beneficial properties, offer a relaxing experience, while the Black Sand Beach, with its distinctive dark volcanic sand, is perfect for a refreshing swim. For those seeking adventure, a walk up Vulcanello, a small volcano formed by a series of eruptions, leads to the Valley of the Monsters, where erosion has shaped the rocks into fascinating and unusual formations.

The second stop is Salina, the greenest and most lush of the Aeolian Islands, famous for its capers and Malvasia, a sweet and aromatic wine. In Salina, the picturesque villages of Malfa, Santa Marina and Lingua welcome visitors with colourful houses and flower-filled gardens. Here, you can taste some of the island’s traditional products. A walk through vineyards, olive groves and woodland leads towards Monte Fossa delle Felci, the highest point in the Aeolian Islands, offering spectacular views over the surrounding islands and the sea. Sea lovers should not miss a swim in Pollara Bay, a beautiful inlet surrounded by towering cliffs and made famous by the film Il Postino.

This itinerary offers an immersive journey through the natural and cultural wonders of Vulcano and Salina, filled with discovery and unforgettable experiences. From breathtaking landscapes to authentic local traditions, it is the perfect way to uncover some of the hidden treasures of the Aeolian Islands.
