7-night itinerary
DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN VULCANO
On arrival at Catania Airport (CTA), transfer to Vulcano, where dark volcanic stone meets luminous sea in striking contrast. A short ride brings you to your sea-facing hotel, opening onto wide views across the water. The afternoon is left at leisure to settle into the island’s pace. As evening falls, sunset warms the coastline in soft amber tones, before a relaxed pizza dinner offers a gentle introduction to island life.
Included:
- Shared airport transfer from Vincenzo Bellini Catania Airport (CTA)
- Pizza experience at the hotel (tasting of traditional sweet and savoury pizzas)
- Night at Mari Del Sud Resort 4*
DAY 2: VULCANO BY COAST
DAY 3: THE CRATER EXPERIENCE
The day unfolds towards the interior of the island, where Vulcano reveals its most dramatic expression. The ascent to the Gran Cratere della Fossa moves through a landscape shaped by heat and time, with sulphur tones, steam, and volcanic rock creating an atmosphere both stark and silent. With every step upward, the sea slips further away, replaced by the island’s raw geological presence. From the summit, wide views stretch across the Aeolian Islands, where Lipari, Salina, Panarea, and Stromboli appear suspended in the haze. The return journey carries a sense of quiet contrast, as the coast gradually re-emerges below.
Included:
- Breakfast or half board (depending on your choice)
- Night at Mari Del Sud Resort 4*
Optional:
- Ascent to Gran Cratere della Fossa (self-guided hike)
DAY 4: LIPARI & SALINA
A full day at sea reveals two distinct islands, beginning with Lipari and its volcanic coastline of white pumice quarries, Canneto Bay, and bright, mineral shores. A swim in clear waters offers a refreshing pause before continuing towards Salina. Lush and quieter, the island unfolds through Malfa and the dramatic curve of Pollara Bay, shaped like a natural amphitheatre above the sea. The return via Rinella and Lingua brings a gentle finish, marked by local flavours and a final coastal view.
Included:
- Breakfast or half board (depending on your choice)
- Boat tour of Lipari & Salina (for stays of 5 nights or more)
- Night at Mari Del Sud Resort 4*
DAY 5: SLOW VULCANO LIVING & SUNSET VINEYARD
Enjoy a free day to explore Vulcano at your own pace, whether swimming, wandering the village, or simply relaxing by the sea. In the afternoon, an optional visit leads up to Soffio del Vento Vineyard, set high above the island with sweeping views across the Aeolian archipelago. At sunset, enjoy a wine tasting as the islands fade into soft golden light.
Included:
- Breakfast or half board (depending on your choice)
- Night at Mari Del Sud Resort 4*
Optional:
- Visit to Soffio del Vento Vineyard with sunset wine tasting
DAY 6: PANAREA & STRAMBOLI BY NIGHT
The day begins as the sea opens towards Panarea, the most elegant of the Aeolian Islands, where whitewashed houses and volcanic rock sit above deep blue waters. Time here is unhurried, with stops at Cala Junco and Cala degli Zingari for swimming in clear, sheltered coves. Later, the journey continues towards Stromboli, its perfect volcanic cone rising dramatically from the horizon. As evening approaches, the light softens, and the island grows more powerful in presence, leading towards the Sciara del Fuoco, where eruptions illuminate the night sky in brief, glowing bursts. The return at night is quiet, marked by the reflection of distant fire on the sea.
Included:
- Breakfast or half board (depending on your choice)
- Night at Mari Del Sud Resort 4*
Optional:
- Full-day boat excursion to Panarea & Stromboli
DAY 7: VOLCANIC WELLNESS
The day is dedicated to stillness, as Vulcano reveals its quieter, restorative side. You may choose to experience the volcanic mud baths, where warm mineral-rich earth creates a soothing, enveloping ritual shaped by the island’s natural forces. Set against a backdrop of sulphur tones and sea breeze, the experience feels both grounding and elemental. The remainder of the day is left open, allowing time to rest, swim, or simply absorb the atmosphere of the island. It is a gentle closing chapter, carried by warmth, silence, and sea light.
Included:
- Breakfast or half board (depending on your choice)
- Night at Mari Del Sud Resort 4*
Optional:
- Volcanic mud bath experience
DAY 8: DEPARTURE FROM VULCANO
