Description

Departure from Milazzo 9.30. Having left the port, we will proceed towards Lipari. (Stop of about 2 Hours and 45 Minutes). Lipari, where the contrast between the blue of the sea and the white of the pumice mountains provides the setting for the two famous rocks “Petra Lunga” and “Petra Menalda”, is the largest and most populated island of the Aeolian archipelago. We recommend a visit to Lipari’s Castle where you will find the Church of Saint Bartholomew, the Patron of Lipari, or an exploration of the archaeological site in ”Contrada Diana” visiting the archaeological Museum “Luigi Bernabo Brea”. Finally, a walk along the narrow picturesque streets of the historical town centre will offer you the chance to do some shopping and immerse yourself in the typical Aeolian life-style. In order to discover the best panoramic sights of the island of Lipari, we recommend a bus tour. Departure from Lipari, short navigation and arrival in Vulcano. (Stop of about 2 Hours and 30 Minutes). Vulcano, born from the fusion of “ Vulcano della Fossa” and “ Vulcanello” offers the chance to take advantage of a Walk on Vulcanello or simply relaxing on the beautiful black-sand beaches of vulcanic origin. For all trekking fans the climb to the main crater of Vulcano is a must (Check for any restrictions). From here you have a 360° panoramic view of all the other islands or you can visit “La Valle dei Mostri” (The Monster Valley) and “La Grotta del Cavallo” (The Horse Grotto). During the excursion we will do a mythological tour by motorboat to visit the 'Faraglioni', the 'Scoglio di Papa Giovanni', the 'Grotta dei Angeli', the 'Scoglio della Mummia', the 'Scoglio della Sirenetta' and the 'Piscine di Venere' from the Sea. The Tour could be carried out on the way there journey or on return journey. In case of Failure of the Mythological Tour due to adverse weather conditions there won't be any refund. Arrival in Milazzo at about 17.45 NB. ONLY SMALL DOGS ARE ALLOWED ON BOARD ADDING A SUPPLEMENT OF EURO 10.00 TO BE INTEGRATED AT THE TICKET OFFICE IN MILAZZO.
