Salina and the Eolian Islands

Seven amazing mediterranean sisters part of the Unesco World Heritage list, here you feel like you’ve been swallowed by the belly button of the world, probably because of the incredible energy of the volcanos (two of them still active). Signs of primordial civilizations, mysterious presences from the past, uncontaminated sea and a magical atmosphere, the Aeolian Islands touch you so deeply that its always hard to leave, the sensations etched in you forevermore. Wind and fire, the cobalt blu of the sea and the shapes modeled by the prime artist here: the lava. Salina, two volcanic cones cherised by the ancient Greeks, each side of the island has its own link with the natural elements, from Pollara's ardent passion to Rinella's authenticity (both of them used as unforgettable film sets). Prose and poetry, capers and malvasia (typical island delicacies), everything seems in its proper place. Vulcano. Arriving at its pocket-sized harbour you can smell the sulphurous vapor coming from the natural pools of bubbling hot water with natural clay lining the base. Going out of the village, following the volcano road we will embark on the sandy uphill climb to the mouth of the active volcano with breathless views. A truly unique experience. Panarea. This petite and wild beauty leaves you spechless from its charming harbour verve, its gleaming colours of the white dwellings and the azure of the sea and the sky, you walk along the winding lanes, too narrow for vehicles to pass, bejewelled by blossoms and weathered stone, until you reach the white sandy beach and perched above the impressive archeological spot of Punta Milazzese with far reaching views to all of the other sisters.
