8 days - guided hiking & sailing

THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS

This Mediterranean gem consists of seven inhabited islands, each with its unique characteristics. From lush green hills to active volcanic craters, the islands boast a stunning variety of natural landscapes within a compact area. In 2000, the archipelago was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the main attractions is Stromboli’s regular volcanic eruptions, which provide a spectacular natural display. The volcanic mountains and Mediterranean scenery make these islands a true paradise for hiking enthusiasts.

This active adventure in Italy is packed with phenomenal experiences, from active sailing with a historic tall ship to hiking volcanos to immerse yourself in a 6,000-year-old culture and exploring the beautiful archipelago. 

Join Florette in the heart of the Aeolian Islands on the island of Lipari. This voyage will be joined by a hiking guide who will lead daily hikes on the islands, with a minimum of 4 hours per hike.
