Morning by the Sea: Cruising towards Salina

On board the vintage wooden boat Eoliana​

The experience begins with the soft light of the morning. We depart from Lipari or Vulcano aboard Eoliana, our elegant vintage wooden boat, designed for those who wish to explore the Aeolian Islands with authenticity, intimacy and a relaxed pace.
Sailing along the eastern coast of Lipari, the route winds between towering cliffs and hidden coves. The clear water reflects the island’s volcanic beauty, in a continuous dialogue between rock and sea.

A sensorial navigation of light and silence​

The sound of the waves, the scent of the sea, the delicate morning breeze—every detail enhances the slow rhythm of the journey. On the horizon, Salina emerges in all its lush green charm, ready to reveal its most genuine soul.

The Heart of the Island: Landscapes, Traditions and Genuine Encounters

Rural views and heroic cultivation​

Terraced vineyards tell stories of hard work and devotion to the land. Dry stone walls outline ancient paths, and every turn offers a new, breathtaking view of the sea. This is the Salina of farmers and storytellers—a place of integrity and profound connection with nature.​

 Santa Marina and the warm welcome of the local guide​

Upon arrival in Santa Marina Salina, you’ll be welcomed by Giuseppe, a passionate local guide and expert in the island’s traditions. Aboard a private vehicle, he will lead you into the island’s verdant inland, where silence and beauty go hand in hand.

Wine & Food Tasting: The Island in a Glass and on the Plate

Authentic flavours and carefully selected local products

In a serene corner of the countryside, surrounded by olive trees and gentle breezes, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting experience that celebrates the culinary heritage of Salina in an intimate, immersive setting.

A convivial moment of taste and culture​

With the passionate guidance of those who lovingly cultivate and produce these treasures, you will savour:

• Three local wines, true expressions of the island’s volcanic character
• Salina capers, intense and aromatic
• Seasonal vegetables prepared using family recipes
• Artisanal cheeses, rich with the scent of pastures and tradition

This is not a lunch, but a sensory and cultural pause, a moment to connect with the island’s identity through flavour, storytelling, and heartfelt hospitality.​

Afternoon by the Sea: A Last Look at Salina

After your time on land, you’ll return on board Eoliana to continue exploring the coastal beauty of Salina. The afternoon sun casts a golden glow over the cliffs, and the sea grows quiet and contemplative.

Swimming, hidden coves and a peaceful return​

There’s time for a swim in a secluded cove, for resting under the sun, eyes closed, embraced by the gentle sea. Then, a slow and peaceful return to the harbour—with your heart full of emotion and your senses enriched by the day’s discoveries.
