Day 8: April 24, 2025
An Early Start Today!
We woke up really early this morning to head off on our big adventure to the Aeolian Islands. At 6:45 AM, we caught our bus, which took us to the port of Milazzo, where we boarded a ferry straight to the first of the Aeolian Islands — Vulcano. From there, we set sail on our private boat, “MIRIANA”, and it was quite the adventure! The day was cloudy and a bit windy, so cruising around the island made for a fun and bumpy ride :)
We later landed on the beautiful island of Lipari, where we explored the church and the fortress that offered breathtaking views. Then it was time to enjoy the local cuisine, do a bit of shopping, and head to the beach. The water was super cold, but a few brave souls dove in anyway!
In the afternoon, we returned to Vulcano and visited the beach with naturally warm volcanic waters rich in sulfur — such a unique experience. Afterward, we caught our ferry back, and following a bus ride, we arrived at our hotel tired but happy.
Waiting for us was an amazing dinner: pasta with ragù, Milanese-style involtini with salad, and cannoli for dessert — absolutely delicious!
After some time spent chatting and laughing together... it was finally time for bed!
