Bed and breakfast in Lipari, Aeolian Islands
After breakfast at your hotel, continue to the island of Stromboli by motorboat. Due to the numerous white houses and the blue accents, the environment almost looks Greek. With a bit of luck, you will also experience the volcano's power when you feel a slight trembling or rumble beneath your feet. In the northeast of the island, you can see the famous Sciara del Fuoco and the lava and glowing rocks that fall into the sea - an unforgettable natural spectacle!
Today's plans are up to you! You can relax and let your mind wander. Did you know that Stromboli has some of the most beautiful black sand beaches in the archipelago? Or how about another adventure? Put on your hiking boots, grab your backpack, and climb the active volcano! Experience firsthand how the lush green landscape turns into a rough and barren volcanic landscape during the ascent (optional). Once at the top, an unforgettable firework of nature awaits you.
Insider tip: In the evening, take a night drive to Europe's only active volcano and watch the glow of the lava at night.
Bed and breakfast in Stromboli, Aeolian Islands
After two exciting days on Stromboli, you will continue to Salina: vineyards, olive trees, and caper fields as far as the eye can see. The vegetation-rich island is unique to the Aeolian Islands, so the locals are proud of their home island. They say that the island will eternally captivate anyone who has ever set foot on it.
The mesmerizing landscapes are full of flora and fauna, and you can even explore the nature reserve on foot. The sweet Malvasia wine, well known far beyond Salina's borders, is cultivated here and tastes excellent here since it’s fresh from its source. Don't miss this delicious experience!
