Day 9: April 26, 2025
Eolian islands! There are 7 of these "windy" island but we visited 2 of them: Lipari and Vulcano.
Lipari was lovely, we just loved the little shops and how pretty everything is here.
Next we sailed to Vulcano island where the beaches have the black lava sand and transparent salty water. Most of us went swimming as the setting was gorgeous and the weather was perfect. There are also natural thermal sulfuric waters (we didn't go for that - too stinky!) but what an interesting place!
Before going back to the mainland, the boat took a tourist route to show us some of the other islands and some interesting and beautiful rock formations. We even saw some dolphins swimming and diving alongside our boat!
Back on the mainland on the way driving to the hotel Rossana our driver stopped at the autogrill so we could get some more Sicilian snacks! It was fun. Grazie Rossana!!
