Dufour 520 Grand Large

The Aeolian Islands are beautiful; I visited Lipari, Vulcano, Panarea, and Stromboli. Due to their volcanic nature, they do not offer the emerald colors of other locations, although they have a beautiful sea. They offer the uniqueness of dark sand and seabeds. There are few quiet coves for anchoring due to the steep rocky formations, but there are still opportunities for beautiful swims. Lipari is the most varied, also in terms of possibilities on land. The port services and mooring to buoys are excellent, but there are not showers and bathrooms everywhere. Would I recommend this vacation? Personally, yes, it is beautiful, but I wouldn't return; I prefer the seas of Sardinia, Greece, or Croatia. But that's just my opinion.

We were very pleased with our charter from the local charter company in Portorosa. It has the feel of a small family run operation. Nila was particularly helpful in setting up the charter and helping us plan our trip around the Aeolian islands... which are breathtakingly beautiful.

Will definitely try to use the same company again if chartering in the area.
