Set off from the port of Capo d’Orlando towards the island of Lipari, where the majestic Faraglioni rock formations will greet you with their timeless beauty.

Back on board, you’ll sail towards the picturesque island of Salina, known as the “garden of the Aeolians” due to its fertility. Here, the prized grapes used to make Malvasia wine and the famous Salina capers, exported worldwide, are cultivated. Once you disembark at Santa Marina di Salina, you’ll have time to explore the island on your own. The centre of Santa Marina lies at the foot of Fossa delle Felci, the highest peak in the archipelago, also known as the “Roof of the Aeolians.” This enormous crater is covered in lush vegetation. Santa Marina is the liveliest spot on the island, with charming shops perfect for buying souvenirs and local eateries where you can savour island specialities.
