Aeolian Islands

Made of 7 islands and a few islets, the Aeolian Islands in Northern Sicily can be easily reached from towns of Palermo, Messina, and Milazzo. The good news is that each island has its own atmosphere and charm. For instance, Vulcano is the closest island to the shore and is famed for its breathtaking volcanic landscapes, while Salina is home to amazing hiking trails. Then there’s Lipari, which is the largest island and premiere yacht destination.
