Rising out of the cobalt blue sea off Sicily’s northeastern coast, the Aeolian Islands are a piece of paradise and one of Sicily most revered holidays destinations. The Islands are listed by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.
Stunning waters provide sports for swimmers, sailors and divers and trekkers can climb the steaming volcanoes and verdant peaks. Walking is a joy in all the islands thanks to scenic footpaths and limited traffic.
For nature lovers, and fans of adventures “off the beaten paths” and those who want to feel a sense of remoteness, Alicudi and Filicudi have an irresistible appeal.
Panarea, on the other hand is chic and exclusive – the perfect place for those who love luxury and shopping.
Gourmets can taste the local cuisine focused on fresh fish, juicy capers, peppers and tomatoes and can sup on locally grown “Malvasia” wine and Slow-food enthusiasts can enjoy the gastronomic festivals.
Several times the gorgeous scenery of the Aeolian islands has been filmed as a backdrop for important and unforgettable movies.
