Detailed itinerary

1

Boarding from the pier of Marina Corta and departure along the eastern part of Lipari. Skirting Monte Rosa and the bay of Canneto we will head towards the island of Panarea.

2

It is the smallest of the seven islands, today renowned for its refined beauty and its VIP clubs. The first bay we will meet is Calajunco, renowned for its crystalline waters and above which is the promontory of Capo Milazzese where we still find the remains of a prehistoric village from the Bronze Age. After Calajunco we find the beautiful Cala Zimmari, where the longest sandy beach on the island is located. Once past the beach, the numerous islets that surround it appear before us: Dattilo, Lisca Bianca, Lisca Nera, Bottaro, and the Panarelli, a small archipelago to be discovered.
Once at the port you will have time to explore this jewel ... from the port of San Pietro several walks start within the island, which will allow you to discover picturesque corners and enchanting views that characterize this island, its exclusive shops, restaurants and bars and its small towns.

We will then leave for Stromboli, flanking the Basiluzzo and Spinazzola islets. And here we are in front of "IDDU" the most active volcano in the world,
Fourth island in order of size, but the most famous of the archipelago, coasting it, the contrast between the white of the houses and the black of the sand stands out, and the constant plume of smoke testifies to its continuous activity. In the afternoon, disembarkation at the port of Scari, where there are many possibilities: a swim in the cobalt waters, easily usable thanks to the numerous beaches and coves that surround the island, a walk in the town centre, full of colorful shops, up to the terrace in front of the church of San Vincenzo, from which you can enjoy a splendid panorama of Strombolicchio and the town.

4

In the early evening we will leave, to go and see Strombolicchio, an islet in the shape of a medieval castle, which emerges 43 meters high, with a lighthouse at the top.
To conclude the day under the Sciara del Fuoco, a steep slope furrowed by torrents of lava, admiring the spectacular eruptions of this volcano in perennial activity.
We slowly leave the sciara and return to Lipari at the end of our journey.
The remaining time on the tour will be spent commuting between attractions and having free time.
