Travel with us to one of the last insider tips in the Mediterranean. The Lipari Islands or the Aeolian Islands (derived from the Roman wind god Aiolos, Latin Aeolus) are true pearls in the north of Sicily and can only be reached by boat. This group of islands includes Lipari, Salina, Vulcano, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi and Panarea. Geologically, historically, culinary and culturally, as well as for their breathtaking beauty, these islands are worth a visit. The island or better the active volcano Stromboli, as the only permanently active volcano in Europe, belongs to the absolute highlight of our trip. The trip will take place on board of a well maintained sailing yacht, which will be our means of transport and at the same time our accommodation for the next days. Whether in the safe harbor with subsequent shore leave or in a beautiful bay where you can greet the sunrise with a jump into the water, the freedom we can enjoy here is boundless. A trip for adventurous, cultural and culinary travelbuddies who want to create impressions far away from normal destinations.

Although I booked the sailing trip with Martin very spontaneously, everything worked out great. We had a short phone call beforehand to discuss the itinerary and clarify expectations. Martin answered all my questions and we were able to clarify organizational matters. On the boat, Martin was very patient in explaining everything and we were able to try out sailing according to our interests. Martin had planned a route
Our home port is best reached from Catania airport after an already very scenic cab ride. From Catania, located directly at the foot of Etna, the road leads us north through a breathtaking landscape that was strongly influenced by Etna. At the northernmost point near Messina, Sicily and the Italian mainland are only a stone's throw away from each other. Arrived in the home port we start with a cozy get together, then move into the boat and provide enough provisions for the next days. Right next to the harbor is one of the most beautiful sandy beaches in Sicily (Spiaggia di Furnari) which is definitely worth a visit.

Vulcano
Day 2-3
Our first ettap destination is the island of Vulcano. The island is about 3 hours drive from our home port and our berth can be reached in a good 4 hours. There we will anchor, depending on the weather conditions in the west or east of the island near Porto di Ponente and spend a wonderful day and night at the foot of the eponymous volcano Vulcano. By the way, the name volcano was derived from names of this island and can be found phonetically in many languages.
