Stromboli & Panarea Day Trip

Visit the archipelago of the Aeolian Islands & two of its most famous islands on this day trip to Stromboli and Panarea. You'll enjoy the tranquility of their fishing villages and witness a magical spectacle of nature: see a volcano erupting!

Day Trip Details

At the appointed time we'll meet on Via Ammiraglio Luigi Rizzo. From here, we'll go to the pier and board a boat that'll take us to the island of Panarea.

Cruising across the Tyrrhenian Sea, we'll make our way to this island, the second smallest of the Aeolian archipelago. As we get closer, you'll see the beauty of its emblematic beach, Cala Junco, which hosts remains of an ancient settlement dating back to the 14th century BC.

We'll disembark at the fishing port and allow 2.5 hours of free time to explore and enjoy local gastronomy. Then, we'll return to the boat and head north towards Stromboli, admiring views of the island's great volcano and surrounding islets.

Once in Stromboli, you'll have another 2 hours free to visit the village, explore its seaside neighborhood, and visit Piazza San Vincenzo for a viewpoint of Stromboli and Strombolicchio.

Finally, we’ll return to the boat for the return trip, with a stop of about 40 minutes at sea to witness the active eruption of the Stromboli volcano. This experience is especially captivating at nightfall.

We'll conclude the day with our arrival back at the port of Milazzo after about 10 hours of sightseeing.

Important Info

If Stromboli is in a red zone due to a volcanic activity alert, and it is forbidden to disembark, the itinerary will be adapted for safety. In this case, there will be a longer stop at Panarea followed by a panoramic tour from the sea around Stromboli, featuring views of Strombolicchio and Sciara del Fuoco.
