8:00 AM - Departure from the tourist harbor of Santa Maria Maggiore. We will proceed along the coast, following the Capo Milazzo promontory to admire the beauty of the area until we reach Punta Mazza. From there, we will begin the crossing to the island of Stromboli, where you will have the opportunity to observe dolphins and/or sea turtles.
10:00 AM - First swimming and relaxation stop at Spiaggia della Forgia Vecchia. This beach is characterized by a stretch of black pebbles at the foot of the volcano. It offers a unique and enchanting landscape in a small bay where tranquility and the transparency of the waters take center stage. This site is only accessible by foot or by boat along a trail that starts from the beach of Scari, located about 300 meters from the pier. Snorkeling equipment will be provided by the organization.
11:00 AM - Departure to the port of Stromboli, just a few minutes of navigation will bring us directly to the pier. You will have approximately 2 hours of free time. Exiting the port, a road will lead you directly into the town center. This steep ascent is surrounded by prickly pear cacti, caper plants, colorful geraniums, bougainvilleas, and typical shops where you can taste culinary delights or have a quick brunch at the numerous local establishments.
1:00 PM - Departure from the port to circumnavigate the island. We will make a brief stop at "Strombolicchio" to take some photos. After a few minutes of navigation, we will arrive at the Sciara del Fuoco, a dusty channel where volcanic debris flows down the slope. Here, you will witness how rocks, due to the ongoing volcanic activity, roll down the slope, raising a cloud of dust and crashing into the sea, creating enormous splashes (it is important to maintain a safe distance). At this point, Ginostra is just around the corner. You will be welcomed by "Pertuso" (hole), which until a few years ago was considered the smallest port in the world. It is nestled among rocks and forms natural emerald green pools. Today, the old port has been expanded with the construction of a dock to facilitate the docking of ships and ferries. Venturing along the steep mule track that leads to the village will feel like stepping back in time, where the hustle and bustle of modern life has never reached, and where the small houses, many of which are uninhabited, maintain the traditional Aeolian architecture intact.
2:00 PM - Departure and heading to the island of Panarea. During the navigation, before reaching the port, you will have to choose between the wonderful waters of Lisca Bianca or Dattilo islets for a refreshing swim and/or snorkeling.
3:00 PM - Departure to the small port of Panarea for a 1.5-hour stop. You will have the opportunity to experience the uniqueness of the island known for its VIP visitors. The village will impress you with its abundance of shops and trendy spots. It's a great chance for shopping or exploring the town center.
4:30 PM - Departure from the port of Panarea for the return journey. The navigation will last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
6:00 PM - Arrival at the tourist port of Milazzo, marking the end of the services.
