Aeolian Islands
Volcanic archipelago in the med
A earthly paradise for sailors few miles away from Sicily, seven sisters of wind and beauty deeply different one another, dotted with numerous islets and rocks emerging from the sea: welcome to the Aeolian Islands, the UNESCO protected archipelago nestled in the deep south of the Mediterranean Sea among nature, volcanoes and crystalline water. Millennia of history and cultures succeeded in time, intertwined with breathtaking landscapes, protected natural reserves and untainted beaches, attracting sailors and divers from all over the world.
