AEOLIANS: IN THE CENTER OF THE MEDITERRANEAN - CODE: NOZISEOLIE
Duration: 8 days 7 nights
THE MOST ARTICULATED SYSTEM OF ACTIVE AND OFF VOLCANOES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AND THE EXTRAORDINARY REFERENCE TO PREHISTORIC AND CLASSICAL ARCHEOLOGY, ARE THE TWO ELEMENTS THAT WILL CONSTITUTE THE MAIN GUIDELINES OF OUR TRIP DISCOVERING THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS.
DAY 1: LIPARI
Arrival in Lipari
DAY 2: LIPARI
Among the Aeolian Islands, Lipari is the largest. It resembles a small town, and it is certainly the best compromise between scenic beauty, fun and comfort.
Not only beautiful beaches with wild and uncontaminated areas, but also fun, art and culture.The bay of Marina Corta is full of typical clubs, bars, restaurants and musical groups that perform live. The entire island is easily accessible by car or scooter, but for those who want to enjoy the true rhythms and sounds of the island, we recommend that you go visit it by bicycle.
DAY 3:ALICUDI - FILICUDI
Off the commercial tourist routes, Alicudi and Filicudi are for those who want to fully appreciate the meaning of the island and get lost in breathtaking views and paths. Alicudi, called the island of steps due to the conformation of the land that made it impossible to build road. To reach the top of the island you can rely on your feet or use the patient donkeys, the symbol of the island.
Filicudi, is nothing more than the emerged cone of a now extinct volcano covered with gorse, ferns, heather and prickly pears. The coasts of Filicudi are of an extraordinary beauty and are inlaid with deep caves, embellished with magnificent stacks and characterized by cliffs overlooking the sea.
DAY 4: VULCANO
A small jewel of the Mediterranean, the island that perhaps best expresses a perfect balance between nature and human settlement: over the centuries, human interventions have in fact limited themselves to "modeling" what nature offered, without damaging or modifying in any way flora and fauna of the island. For this reason, today we can enjoy the benefits of thermal waters and sulphurous waters in an authentic setting, a natural paradise.
DAY 5: PANAREA
Panarea is known for its thermal muds, black beaches and a wonderful sea. In addition, its whitewashed houses with blue doors and windows, the narrow alleys and the bougainvilleas that adorn them give it all the charm of the Greek islands of the Aegean Sea.
DAY 6: SALINA
Salina is a green island much loved by families and couples because of its peacefulness. Fossa delle Felci and Monte Porri are two of the 6 extinct volcanoes on the island, separated by the Valdichiesa plateau, now protected by a nature reserve. The brackish lake that extends towards Lipari, in the southeastern part of the island, from which salt was once extracted gives Salina its name
DAY 7: STROMBOLI
Stromboli is nothing more than the top of a large active submerged volcano that produces spectacular eruptions, so much so that it has earned the nickname of the Mediterranean Lighthouse. The isalnd is also known for its wonderful black sand beaches, the most beautiful of the Aeolian Islands.
DAY 8: MILAZZO - CATANIA
