You arrive in Sicily, we meet you at the airport and assist you with boarding the yacht. If you arrive in the morning, we’ll recommend places to store your luggage and how to make the most of your free time in an interesting and enjoyable way. On this day, it’s important to stock up on provisions and drinks for a comfortable time at sea. The yacht is equipped with a fully functional kitchen, and you can cook your own meals or invite a professional chef for the entire trip. Most of our guests enjoy having lunch at sea, on board the yacht, and dining at local restaurants on the islands for dinner

It last erupted in 1888 and is now a huge smoking crater with numerous fumaroles. Climbing to the top of this one takes about an hour, and the impressions will remain for a lifetime

- Trekking along the picturesque path between the coves
- Snorkeling between Bottaro and Lisca Bianca islets and watching underwater fumaroles
day 4. stromboli island
Stromboli is a unique island, it hosts one of the most active volcanoes on our planet. Despite the constant volcanic activity, the island is inhabited. This fact can be explained by the predictability of the volcano. For many thousands of years, lava bursts out of the volcano every 10-15 minutes and flows peacefully into the sea along the same route. You can observe it both from the sea and by climbing to the top of the volcano accompanied by a volcanologist guide
To do list
