AEOLIAN ISLANDS ADVENTURE

On this unforgettable walking tour you explore the beautiful and unspoilt Aeolian Islands – a string of seven volcanic islets that glimmer like black pearls off Sicily’s Mediterranean shore.

Your holiday starts and end on the mainland. Here you’ll explore the rolling hills and verdent gorges that line Etna’s northern slopes, and spend time in mediaeval Montalbano Elicona - officially one of Italy’s most beautiful villages. In between, you’ll stay on the islands of Stromboli and Salina, and make day trips to Vulcano and Lipari. Travelling with an expert local guide, highlights include ascending to just below Stromboli’s active volcano, enjoying breathtaking views over the entire archipelago from Salina’s verdant peaks, and standing on the rim of Vulcano’s smoking crater.
