   Milazzo - Vulcano Island

   Depart Milazzo and set a relaxed course north toward Vulcano, part of the storied Aeolian Islands. The crossing is an easy two hours, enough time to settle in, espresso (martini) in hand, as Sicily disappears behind you. Ahead, Vulcano rises from the sea, unmistakable and elemental. Anchor off black-sand beaches or beneath the dramatic cliffs of the Grotta del Cavallo. Swim in mineral-rich waters or paddle along the shoreline. By evening, the air carries a hint of sulphur and sunset turns the rock face gold. Dinner is served onboard based on 3 pillars, simple, fresh and local.

   Vulcano Island

   Spend the day exploring the fascinating island of Vulcano, visiting Vulcanello peninsula: one of the three original eruptive craters of Vulcano, whose activity has shaped a surreal landscape known by the locals as the 'Valley of the Monsters'. Then there is the nearby Pool of Venus, which can only be reached by sea. Also known as Bagno delle Vergini, it is an immense natural pool of tuff and basalt with inviting turquoise waters. There is a fantastic Quad Bike Tour on the island as well. Or consider a hike up Vulcano’s puffing volcanic peak. Your reward? Laze in sulphur-rich mudbaths inside the volcanic crater.

Why people love it

• Unique Souls. Each Aeolian Island has its own unique soul. Stromboli offers the finest seafood. Volcano an experience like no place on earth. Panarea feels like Mustique or Mykonos before the world discovered them. The tiny island of Basiluzzo hosts lizards and a lemon orchard. And absolutely no people at all. Sail, RIB or kitesurf among them all.
• A wild mix. Sicily’s standout is contrast — fire and sea, Arab and Norman, raw landscape and refined table. Cruise the coastline, step ashore for culture that runs deep, and return onboard with something rare: a place that feels both ancient and vividly alive.
