On this trip, you'll discover the best of the Aeolian Islands. This cluster of picturesque isles off Sicily's northeast coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Sire. You'll visit the waterfront buildings of Lipari before sailing to Vulcano, famed for its black-sand beaches and smoking peaks.
Departing from Milazzo, we set off early, so you can watch the sunrise en route to Lipari, the largest of the islands. As one of the oldest settlements in Europe, there's plenty to explore here. Your guide will give you all the history as he tours you round the landmarks and monuments. Afterwards, you'll have time to stop for an espresso or rummage the souvenir shops for rosaries and ornaments.
Gliding over to the island of Vulcano, its volcanic origins are clear to see – you'll soon spot fumes spouting from its crater. Find a spot for yourself on the black sand beach, spread out your towel here and enjoy a few hours topping up your tan before boarding the boat back.
