ISOLE EOLIE – Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi e Panarea

"Isole Eolie - Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi and Panarea"

In the crystal clear waters surrounding the Northeast coast of Sicily lie seven paradisiacal isles that almost seem to belong to the very beginning of time. The isles forming the Aeolian archipelago look like seven huge lava splinters that have erupted from somewhere in the depths.

They are seven isles where a holiday-maker can discover an island lost in time, experience living at one with nature and find countless beaches, coves, grottos, inlets and needle rocks. Beneath the surface lies yet another world with an incomparable variety and wealth of marine life.
Apart from the outstanding natural beauty of this area, the geological and vulcanological features along with seven thousand years of history that you can discover while visiting the prehistoric villages and the Archaeological Museum at Lipari make the archipelago one of the most interesting places on Earth. The infrastructure for tourism is by now well established and can offer dream holidays all year round.
