DAY 3 : Filicudi - Salina
Set sail for one of the archipelago's most misunderstood islands: Salina. At 961 m high, it is the most luxuriant and highest of all wind turbines. During this crossing, the Gelidonya makes a stopover in the magnificent "Bay of Pollara". Enjoy a moment of relaxation in this magical place to explore the seabed before heading to Salina. At the end of the day, you arrive at the port of Santa Marina di Salina. Stroll through the alleys in where you can find a nice spot to eat dinner for the evening.

DAY 4 : Salina - Panarea

DAY 5 : Panarea - Stromboli - Panarea
You cast off and sail towards Stromboli. You will enjoy the daytime observation of the "Sciara di Fuoco" grey volcanic debris that protrudes into the water for about one kilometre to the foot of the crater. The rock is reddened by the fire of this volcano, which has been in almost permanent activity for 2500 years. We will suggest you go diving in Strombolicchio and visit the lighthouse. After lunch, you will discover the village of Stromboli. Then you will return to Panera. Dinner at your leisure.

DAY 7 : Vulcano - Lipari
After breakfast, your gulet heads for Lipari via the Faraglioni. Located in the south of the island, these 3 impressive rocks come out of the sea.
