An original coast-to-coast trip within the parks of Etna and the Nebrodi, pedalling along less-trodden paths to discover the lunar niches of the volcanic landscape, discover new views of the Aeolian Islands, breathe in dense beech woods, and ride amidst steep basalts.

What better way to live the places holding the myth of Aeolus, god of the winds, than with a sailboat? Wafted on by the favour of the Greek god, we will navigate with comfortable modern boats on the warm, crystalline waters of the Aeolian islands, arriving as far as Ustica.

We weigh anchor on the route of a paradise for the senses. In the Aeolian Islands everything is more intense: the scent of the capers, the taste of the fish and the malmsey, the colours of the seas, the soft white pumice sands, and the bold profiles of the coasts. Come on board with us!

Small and solitary, the island of Ustica is a splendid strip of dark, volcanic land lit by spectacular blooming flowers and bathed by the extraordinary waters of the first Italian marine reserve. In its dense light it shines as the “black pearl of the Mediterranean”.
