The second destination is the picturesque island of Panarea, a magical island that holds archaeological and natural treasures. You can explore the prehistoric village of Punta Milazzese, which dates back to the Middle Bronze Age (1500-1300 BC) and can be reached on foot in about 45 minutes or by Panarea’s typical electric taxis. Reach Cala Zimmari, a hidden bay nestled among the rocks. With its crystal-clear waters and characteristic red sand, this corner of paradise will provide you with moments of absolute relaxation and serenity. Enjoy the sun at Cala Junco, one of the most beautiful inlets in the Aeolian archipelago. Here, you will feel as if you are suspended between sky and sea, surrounded by rocks that give it a peculiar U-shape.

To conclude your tour of the active volcanoes of the islands of Vulcano, Panarea and Stromboli, sail towards the island of Stromboli, the island of fire. There, you will stop at sea in front of the port of Ginostra to admire the picturesque village that can only be reached by sea.
When you land on the island of Stromboli, you will have the opportunity to stroll through its colourful streets and along its typically black beaches, such as the Forgia Vecchia beach, a small bay that offers crystal-clear waters and a quiet, relaxing environment, and the Ficogrande beach, an equipped beach ideal for families. Reach the church of San Vincenzo, from whose square you can admire a beautiful panoramic view. Finally, treat yourself to an aperitivo or a good granita at sunset in one of the cafés overlooking the sea.
To conclude the minicruise of the islands of Lipari, Panarea and Stromboli, you will continue by sea to Strombolicchio, an islet of volcanic origin that represents the northernmost point of Sicily, finally reaching the Sciara del Fuoco, where you can admire the suggestive spectacle of the volcano’s eruptions from the sea.
