Filicudi and Alicudi are the most remote and peaceful islands in the archipelago, with hardly any cars and very few visitors. This day boat trip from Lipari takes you to both in a single day, with a guide who speaks Italian and English.
What you do
- Cruise west with views of Salina and its twin volcanoes.
- Circle Filicudi, including the Grotta del Bue Marino sea cave and La Canna, a 70-metre rock needle.
- Swim in coves with transparent water.
- Enjoy free time on Alicudi to wander its stone stairways and have lunch by the sea.
- Stop at Filicudi harbor before heading back to Lipari.
Who it is for
Travellers who want the most authentic side of the Aeolian Islands and do not have their own boat that day. It is a long day at sea, so it suits people who do not get seasick easily; the boat is spacious and has shaded areas to rest.
What to bring
Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat, water and cash for lunch, which is not included. Bring comfortable shoes if you want to climb up through Alicudi.
Best time
June to September, when departures run regularly. In strong westerly winds the route may change for safety.
Included
- Shared boat from Lipari
