Episode 43: Sailing the Aeolians Volume 3: Salina and Vulcano

Join us as we sail through the heart of the Aeolian Islands to explore two of Sicily’s most captivating destinations — Salina and Vulcano! 🌋🍷

In Salina, we drop anchor in some of the most scenic bays of the Mediterranean, visit charming coastal towns, and enjoy an unforgettable wine tasting experience featuring the island’s signature Malvasia delle Lipari varietal. Along the way, we meet friendly shop owners, explore local boutiques, and even get an insider’s look at a bar for sale right in the heart of the village.

From there, we sail to Vulcano Island, where we climb to the very top of the active crater, taking in breathtaking panoramic views of the entire Aeolian archipelago. We share tips on the best anchorages and mooring fields, how to access shore from your dinghy, and what not to miss if you’re visiting by boat.

This episode captures the essence of island life — the beauty, the people, the food, and the adventure — all from the deck of our sailboat Belezinha. Whether you’re planning your own sailing trip or simply dreaming of Mediterranean horizons, this journey will inspire your next voyage.
