Guides
Five guides to plan a day at sea with no surprises: which island suits you, which month the sea is calmest, how to get there, which route to follow and what you can only see from the water.
Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli, Filicudi and Alicudi compared for how you want to experience the trip: a first visit, quiet, glamour, or an evening in front of the volcano.
Read the guideThe month matters more than the island. From June to September the sea is almost always calm, spring has the maestrale wind to keep an eye on, and winter is out of season. With the calendar of conditions that come back every year.
Read the guideThe islands have no airport: you arrive by sea, almost always via Milazzo. The departure harbours, the summer crossings from Calabria, the useful airports and where to leave your car.
Read the guideThe best routes that fit into a single day, island by island. From Lipari, from Panarea, from Vulcano: when it is worth it, what you see, whether you need a licence, and the tip on the wind.
Read the guideThe coves with no road, the caves, the sea stacks and the Sciara del Fuoco of Stromboli, which at night you can only watch from the water. And how to respect a protected archipelago.
Read the guideIf you are holidaying on the Coast of the Gods, the Aeolian Islands sit on the horizon and there is a sea to explore right on your doorstep: the coves of Capo Vaticano, Grotticelle, the cliff seen from the water.
