Setting Sail from Tropea

As a former professional surfer, I’ve spent countless hours riding the waves and exploring the world’s most beautiful beaches. But when I heard about the Aeolian Islands Tour from Tropea, I knew I had to experience it for myself. The promise of a journey through the Aeolian Islands, with their rich history and stunning landscapes, was too tempting to resist.

The adventure began at the port of Tropea, where I boarded a comfortable motorboat. The atmosphere was immediately inviting, with friendly staff and a multilingual guide who made sure everyone felt at ease. As we set sail, I could feel the excitement building. The sea breeze, the anticipation of exploring new islands, and the camaraderie among fellow travelers set the perfect tone for the day ahead.

Discovering Vulcano and Lipari

Our first stop was the island of Vulcano, a place that felt like stepping onto another planet. The volcanic landscape was unlike anything I’d ever seen, with its warm, sulphurous waters inviting us for a swim. As someone who loves the ocean, I couldn’t resist diving in. The water was soothing, and the unique setting made it an unforgettable experience.

After our swim, we explored the small town, taking in the rugged beauty of the island. The wilderness of Vulcano was a stark contrast to the laid-back Caribbean beaches I’m used to, but it was a welcome change that reignited my sense of adventure.

Next, we sailed to Lipari, a true gem of the Aeolian Islands. The old town was charming, with narrow streets lined with shops and cafes. I took the opportunity to indulge in some local shopping and enjoy a relaxed lunch, guided by the invaluable advice of our tour guide. Lipari’s blend of history and modernity was captivating, and I found myself wishing for more time to explore.

The Magic of Stromboli at Sunset

The final leg of our journey was a tour around Stromboli, an island known for its active volcano. As we sailed around the island at sunset, the sky painted a breathtaking canvas of colors. The highlight of the trip was witnessing the “Sciara del Fuoco,” where we were lucky enough to see puffs of lava lighting up the night. It was a moment of pure magic, one that made the entire trip worthwhile.

The organization of the tour was impeccable, with well-managed times and a staff that went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. As we sailed back to Tropea, I couldn’t help but reflect on the day’s adventures. The Aeolian Islands had offered a perfect blend of nature, culture, and relaxation, leaving me eager to return for more.

For anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Mediterranean, the Aeolian Islands Tour is a must. It’s a journey that promises not only fun and relaxation but also a deeper connection with the natural world. I can’t wait to book my next adventure with Comerci Navigazione and continue exploring the wonders of the sea.
