Day by day itinerary
Day 1 - Arrival in Salina – Welcome meeting
Your first day of this slow-living vacation starts in Catania. Once arrived, you will be transferred to Milazzo, then to Salina, by hydrofoil.
Once you arrive in Salina, you will go for the small van “Ape Calessino” transfer to arrive at your hotel, where you will linger for four days and four nights. We will tell you how to relax and where to go to have a fantastic starting day.
Day 2 - Skiff Tour around Salina
Today you will go around the island on a skiff, both for sightseeing and sea diving in the most beautiful spots of Salina. The experience will bring you right into one of the core activities ever done here in the islands, on one of the most classic boats.
You will have a free evening and we will suggest you a house restaurant to feel the calm rhythm of the Aeolian classic life.
Day 3 - Relax & Wellness – Trekking & Bird Watching with a Local Guide
Your third game will be game-changing. First thing in the morning you will have a magnificent breakfast, then wellness and Spa followed by a light lunch. After that you will go on an excursion on Vallespina, one of the most beautiful trekking trails of the islands. The road is pretty straightforward for the lovers of trekking, the slopes never too hard, and the trail is immersed in the green, with a nice panoramic view on the sea, at a medium height of 100 meters on the sea level. During this walk, you might even see the Falco Eleonorae, a protected species of falcon that can only be found in the Mediterranean and in Madagascar.
Day 4 - Weaving Class in Lipari
After breakfast in Salina you will go to Lipari, by hydrofoil. You will participate in a weaving class. You will be given lessons with a unique kind of loom and understand the way of weaving in Aeolian classic style, overseen by local veteran weavers. When the class will be finished you will go out for lunch and you will have all afternoon to enjoy life in Lipari. The hydrofoil will take you back in Salina before dinner time.
Day 5 - Enjoy Filicudi and Free Time
After your last breakfast in Salina you will move to Filicudi, one of the most silent places of the archipelago. You will have all day to yourself to live the Filicudian dream at your own pace.
Day 6 - Trekking & Foraging with a Local Guide
Your sixth day will be all about free time and trekking in Filicudi. There are a lot of new paths discovered recently, which are now the most beautiful of the island, that will allow you to get through all the parts and contradas of the isle. This trekking route houses a lot of aromatic plants, and the most flavored, and frequent as well, are the rare mirto, the pungent wild fennel, and the fabulous caper.
Day 7 - Snorkelling
This will be the day of snorkelling, one of the most pleasant activities to practice in the cool waters of the archipelago. You will have time to dedicate to yourself, of course, but we strongly suggest spending as much time as possible diving around Filicudi, since the seabed offers spectacular landscapes and some beautiful sea flora and fauna.
Day 8 - Last Morning – Transfer to Catania Airport
It’s time to say goodbye to the Aeolian Islands. Hopefully, you had one of the best relaxing times of your life, and you will want to come back as soon as possible. You will go back to Milazzo by hydrofoil, then head back to Catania airport.
