Hi there! :) My name is Lisa, 26 years old, globetrotter, adventurous soul, I love the mountains, the ocean, waterfalls, tree houses, inspiring books and good food. Always down to go the extra mile for a beautiful sunset or to get to the most spectacular viewpoint. Open minded, easy going and quite relaxed most of the time! :) Why the Aeolian Islands? You might not ever have heard of this group of islands yet, but I can promise you they are an absolute gem. After traveling 35+ countries, they still have a special place in my heart. Stay tuned - I will tell you more about the islands in the stops below! For accommodation, I will rent a house on one of the Islands - that will be the base from where we will explore the other islands on day trips. There are ferries every day, and as the islands are quite small, it´s easy to explore them walking. Costs: the costs only include the accommodation. You still need to calculate some expenses for the ferries to the different islands. Who am I looking for? If that description speaks to you, then YOU! 🙂 Easy going people who can take care of themselves but enjoy to travel together and have a good time. :) Want to join? Send me a message with some infos who you are and why you would like to join. I’m happy to have a call to chat and get to know each other! Looking forward to hearing from you! Cheers, Lisa

Milazzo

Day 1-8

We will meet in Milazzo in the early morning of the 8th of October. From there we will take a ferry to the first Island. Here is how to get to Milazzo: You can either fly to Catania or Palermo, whatever is cheaper for you. From both of these cities, you can take a train to Milazzo. The train ride is very scenic! Palermo - Milazzo: ~2h 30min, 11-12 Euros, Bus or Train Catania - Milazzo: ~3h 15min, 9 Euros Train, 38 Euros Bus Milazzo is a beautiful town - you can see both sunrise and sunset there: when you are at a certain point you can see the ocean at both ends of the street you are on! You might want to arrive a day early and just walk around town. You can even see the smoke from the volcano Etna sometimes.

Vulcano

Day 8

The island Vulcano has a lot to offer. There is an epic volcano crater that you can hike up to and walk around with a beautiful view. From the top you are able to not only overlook the whole island but you can even see the neighbor island Lipari. If you prefer to just relax, you can soak in the thermal water of mud baths. Because of the thermic activities of the volcano, you will sometimes even see bubbles rising to the surface in the ocean. There are many ways to discover the island: vehicles such as bicycles, kayaks, quads, Mini-Mokes are available for rent.

Lipari

Day 8

Lipari is the closest neighbor island of Vulcano and only a short ferry ride away. The area in which the beautiful Castle of Lipari is located was inhabited as early as 6000 years ago. Both the Castle and the Marina Corta look like an outdoor museum and invite visitors to take a stroll through the historical town.

Stromboli

Day 8

Stromboli is the name of the island as well as the name of the volcano that it consists of. It is a highly active volcano that has small eruptions regularly, you can see it every hour! How amazing is that?! You can either walk to a platform halfway to the top and watch lava running down the volcano or book a guided tour and hike all the way to the top. It´s a once-in-a-lifetime-experience for sure!! Furthermore, there is also the option to book a boat tour at night; this way you get to see the volcano erupting from a distance from the ocean.

Vico Salina

Day 8

With its three towns, Santa Marina, Malfa and Leni, it is the second largest Aeolian island, with little more than 2,300 inhabitants. Olive groves, caper bushes, lush, fig and citrus trees. Here’s Salina, an island that can make your eyes and taste buds burst from the rapture with the sweetest and most savory delicacies of nature.
