Lipari – Vulcano from Milazzo

Departure | Milazzo (Me)

Mini Cruise Lipari – Vulcano: departing from the port of Milazzo, your adventure to the enchanting islands of Lipari and Vulcano begins with an unforgettable mini cruise. In Lipari, we recommend visiting the heart of the island starting from Marina Corta harbor; crossing Piazza Ugo di Sant’Onofrio, lined with typical bars and restaurants, you’ll find yourself before the majestic Lipari Castle, also known as the Acropolis. Within the fortified walls, you can explore the Cathedral of San Bartolomeo, the archaeological area, an ancient monastery, and the Luigi Bernabò Brea Archaeological Museum, which houses artifacts of great historical value.

If you want to immerse yourself in the true Aeolian spirit, stroll along the main Corso Vittorio Emanuele or Via Garibaldi, characterized by a labyrinth of narrow streets and typical shops where you can soak up the island’s unique atmosphere. For those who prefer to admire the scenic beauty, a guided bus tour offers a panoramic view of Lipari’s most evocative spots.

The second stop on the cruise takes you to Vulcano, the archipelago’s second active volcano. Although the last eruption dates back to 1888, the island greets visitors with its characteristic sulfur smell from the constant volcanic emissions. As soon as you disembark, you can relax in the thermal area near the port, famous for its hot mud pool with beneficial effects on bones and skin. The Black Beaches, with their fine volcanic sand, offer a unique experience for sea lovers.

For adventure seekers, the climb to the Gran Cratere della Fossa is unmissable. From the summit you’ll enjoy a breathtaking panorama, and don’t miss a visit to Vulcanello and the island’s western coast, where you’ll find the Grotta del Cavallo, the Piscina di Venere, and a mountain shaped like a lion’s head. Further south, the picturesque Faro di Gelso lighthouse completes the itinerary. The return journey departs Vulcano at 4:00 PM, with expected arrival in Milazzo around 5:45 PM.

The mini cruise offers a range of included services: info point, restrooms, and a solarium pontoon, to ensure maximum comfort and assistance throughout the journey. The landing fee and insurance are included; food and beverages are excluded.
