Alicudi & Filicudi Excursion

Make the most of your visit to Lipari by exploring the two most remote Aeolian Islands. This excursion allows you to relish the rural charm of Alicudi and delve into the archaeological treasures of Filicudi!

Excursion to Alicudi & Filicudi

Forty-five minutes prior to the scheduled departure, we will gather at the Piazza di Marina Corta in Lipari, where you will board the boat and embark on an exciting day of discovery.

Your journey will commence with a scenic cruise along the Lipari coastline, where you can take in the breathtaking sight of the Faraglioni di Lipari rising dramatically from the sea—an unforgettable image that is even more stunning in person! As we approach the island of Filicudi, don’t miss the chance to view the renowned Grotta del Bue Marino, the largest sea cave in the Aeolian Islands.

Once we arrive at the port of Filicudi, you'll enjoy two hours of free time to wander about the island and savor lunch. For those keen on history, a visit to the archaeological site of Capo Graziano is a must, where you can explore the remnants of an ancient Neolithic settlement. You might also want to hike up to one of the island's stunning viewpoints to see La Canna, a volcanic cliff standing over 80 meters tall.

Following your time in Filicudi, we will board the boat once more and sail towards Alicudi, the furthest of the Aeolian Islands. Upon arrival, you will instantly sense the peaceful ambiance of this tiny volcanic island, with a population of just 150 inhabitants and no roads, where the local communities are linked by a network of trails. Are you ready to explore?

For two hours, you can freely venture around Alicudi. Consider visiting the village of San Bartolomé, home to a church that contains the patron saint of the archipelago. Situated at 330 meters (1082 ft) above sea level, the temple provides fantastic views of the surrounding scenery. Alternatively, you can wander through the area of Contrada Tonna to admire its picturesque rural homes. The choice is yours!

At the conclusion of our adventure, we will return to Lipari, arriving approximately nine hours after we set off.
