The seven pearls, the seven sisters of the Mediterranean Sea await you, since they will be the destination of your next trip. And we suggest you what to do absolutely during a holiday on the Aeolian islands.

 

5 things to do

Discover the Aeolian islands and let yourself be enchanted by their splendor. They have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, for their beauty and for the volcanic phenomena that characterize them. Wild beauty and unspoiled nature: Lipari, Stromboli, Panarea, Vulcano, Salina, Alicudi and Filicudi are the seven sisters to be experienced.

Visit Lipari

It is certainly the main stop during your stay in the Aeolian Islands. Many things to do in Vittorio Emanuele road, the liveliest street in Lipari: clubs, characteristic shops and restaurants where you can taste all the flavors of the Sicilian land. The thermal springs are no less attractive: the black of the obsidian and the white of the pumice stone meet and make these places truly surreal.

Visit to the castle of Lipari

Historical, cultural and artistic landmark, the castle of Lipari is worth a visit and then add it to the list of things to do in the Aeolian Islands. It is a fortress that overlooks the port of Marina Corta and that of Marina Lunga, the two landing places on the island. Here are the cathedral of San Bartolomeo and the Aeolian Archaeological Museum (which can boast a collection of the most complete remains in Europe), as well as the archaeological park and the cloister of the Norman monastery.

Malvasia tasting on Salina

It is a fortified wine, with an amber colour. If you also like to discover the tastes of the places you visit, this tasting is certainly a thing to do. Malvasia is a typical product of the Aeolian Islands and you can savour it lulled by the tranquillity of the place and cheered by the stories of those who produce it.

Climbing on Stromboli

It is Iddu, “it”. This is how the islanders call it: wild and majestic, Stromboli is the volcano to climb. If you want to experience strong emotions, the explosive nature of this place will satisfy you. Then at night, due to the low light, at this height you can admire all the splendour of the Sicilian starry sky.

Boat tour to Filicudi

Visiting the Bue Marino cave is one of the things to do if you visit the Aeolian islands in summer. The caves are a characteristic of Sicily and this in particular is the largest and most suggestive of the Aeolian coast. Here you will find a changing sea thanks to the play of light that gives different shades of colour to the waters.
