Mini-cruise to the Aeolian Islands

Messina

The Aeolian Islands are a volcanic archipelago consisting of seven small islands and a few rocks jutting out of the sea (the largest is Strombolicchio, the most remote point of Sicily). Due to their shape, they are also known as the Hawaii of the Mediterranean. Two volcanoes are still active on the islands, which take their names: Stromboli and Vulcano.

Human settlement, in fact, has respected their volcanic origins so that one can experience the thrill of seeing lava flows and flaming craters.

From the port of Tropea and Vibo Marina, many mini-cruises set sail, which, along the eighty kilometre arc that they form close to the eastern coast of Sicily, will allow you to live an experience that will remain vivid in your memory.
