Tour Aeolian Islands: Vulcano & Lipari

This Aeolian Islands tour from Milazzo offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Aeolian Archipelago, where we will admire the beauty of Vulcano and Lipari and discover their differences and contrasts.

The typical black beaches of Vulcano and the white seabeds of Lipari, originating from pumice quarries, are just a few examples of what we are sure will make you fall in love.

• Departure from Santa Maria Maggiore harbor. We will enjoy our navigation across the beautiful sea and, with a bit of luck, we might even have the chance to be guided by dolphins along the way.
• First stop and swim at Punta dell’Asino, in front of the beautiful namesake black sand beach. The typical color originates from lava flows due to the volcanic nature, still visible today from the numerous fumaroles and mud pools, such as those near Porto di Levante.
• Resuming navigation along the coast, we will admire the extraordinary beauty of the island with its strong sulfur smell, until we pause at the richest and most interesting area where the Pools of Venus and the Cave of the Horse are located. Here we will make a short stop with the chance for some diving and swimming.
• We will then continue our route, and along the navigation you will be able to admire another example of the volcanic nature of our archipelago with the imposing volcanic hills of Pietra Lunga and Pietra Menalda, the so-called “Faraglioni of Lipari,” under which we will take a nice selfie.
• As we begin to coast along Lipari, you will be astonished by the bright white of the rock mountains and the famous pumice quarries with their white sand beaches and crystal-clear sea.
• Opportunity to go ashore on the islands for a walk and to buy a souvenir before we start our navigation back to the departure harbor.
