Aeolian Islands

The seven wonders of the Mediterranean

Aerial view of a rugged coastline with rocky cliffs, clear blue waters, and a distant coastal town under a clear sky.

Also called "The Seven Sisters," the Aeolian Islands perfectly embody the splendor of the Mediterranean: colors, scents, flavors, and dreamlike landscapes.

United by their volcanic origin and the deep blue sea surrounding them, each island has its own unique personality and offers unforgettable experiences.

The most populated is Lipari, followed, in descending order, by Salina, Vulcano, Stromboli, Panarea, Filicudi, and Alicudi.

Located in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea, off the northern coast of Sicily near Capo Milazzo—just under 12 nautical miles away—the Aeolian archipelago is an increasingly popular destination, attracting up to 200,000 visitors during the summer season. A quick glance at any photo is enough to understand why: crystal-clear waters and unspoiled nature.

Not to mention the aromas and flavors of the local cuisine, which is as delicious as it is authentic, thanks to the use of aromatic herbs that enhance every dish: cherry tomatoes, basil, garlic, rosemary, mint, olives, and, most notably, the renowned capers and cucunci.

A stroll among trees and flowers or a climb to the volcano's crater? Beaches or cliffs? White sands or black sands?

You don’t have to choose—here, you have it all.

Whether you're a hiking and trekking enthusiast or prefer to relax by the sea, the Aeolian Islands offer the perfect destination for you.

Thanks to these unique characteristics, the Aeolian Islands were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, recognized both as a biosphere reserve and a cultural treasure.
