Sardinia – Italy – Aeolian Islands – Malta

Island Season.

As summer unfolds, Florette slows her pace among volcanic islands, turquoise bays, and ancient coastlines. From Sardinia’s east coast to the Aeolian Islands and back toward Malta, this is the season of exploration and simple life at sea.

Florette sails east from Sardinia’s Gulf of Orosei toward the Aeolian Islands, a chain of volcanic peaks rising out of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The route moves through Vibo Marina and into the UNESCO archipelago, where life follows the rhythm of sea, wind, and fire.

Route

Days take their shape between sailing, hiking, and anchoring beneath volcanoes. The air is heavy with salt and ash, the sea alive with colour and light.

You’ll move with the ship, learn by doing, and find your pace somewhere between calm mornings and long nights under stars.

From Stromboli’s red glow to Salina’s green slopes and Vulcano’s black sand, every island offers its own character. The wind decides where the day begins and ends. As the season closes, Florette turns south again through Calabria and Sicily before reaching Malta, where the water warms and the journey folds back to where it started.

Warm water, steady winds, long days, and room to breathe – this route hits the Mediterranean at its best.

Why This Route

This route is for you if you want to experience the Mediterranean in its best. From May through mid-July, conditions are settled, the sea is warm, and coastal towns remain accessible before the height of summer. Days allow time to ease into life on board, balance sailing with time ashore, and move according to wind and weather. Sailing pauses in July in response to increasing summer pressures, including extreme heat, congestion, limited wind, higher fuel demand, and strain on local resources. This approach supports more responsible travel and helps preserve the Mediterranean for future generations.
