Vulcano – Salina

Departure | Capo D’Orlando (Me)

The Mini Cruise tour 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 Fossa del Vulcano — a smoking crater dominating the landscape — and observe the fumaroles emitting sulfurous vapors. The island’s thermal waters, rich in beneficial properties for skin and respiratory health, offer a relaxing experience, while the Sabbie Nere beach, with its characteristic dark volcanic sand, invites a refreshing swim. For adventure seekers, climbing Vulcanello — a small volcano formed from a series of eruptions — allows a visit to the Valle dei Mostri, where erosion has created bizarre rock formations.

The second stop is Salina, the greenest and most lush island of the Aeolian archipelago, famous for its production of capers and Malvasia — a sweet and aromatic wine. In Salina, the picturesque villages of Malfa, Santa Marina, and Lingua offer a welcoming atmosphere with their colorful houses and flowering gardens. Here, you can sample the island’s typical products. A walk through vineyards, olive groves, and forests leads to Monte Fossa delle Felci — the highest point in the Aeolian Islands — from which you’ll enjoy a spectacular view of the other islands and the sea. Sea lovers won’t want to miss a swim in the bay of Pollara — a beautiful cove surrounded by high cliffs, made famous by the film “Il Postino.”

This itinerary not only offers an immersion in the natural and historical wonders of Vulcano and Salina, but also promises an experience rich in emotion and discovery, making every moment unforgettable. A journey through breathtaking landscapes and local traditions, ideal for those who want to discover the hidden beauties of the Aeolian Islands.
