San Vincenzo and the "Sciara del Fuoco"

On Monday morning, after a pleasant swim and a rich breakfast , we set out for the islets of Dattilo, Lisca Bianca and Basiluzzo. Basiluzzo is known as the “eighth Aeolian island” because of its size; we will circumnavigate the islet to be able to admire the amazing coastal morphology consisting of little grottos, high walls of layers of lava, and other bizarre rock formations that look like monuments from the way they rise from the sea.
Here you will have the opportunity to visit undersea geysers that give to this part of the sea a particular smell of sulphur and a opaque color caused by bubbles of gas that come out of the sea bed. After lunch we will set out for Stromboli that is one of the most particular and interessant destination of the week.

En route for Stromboli we can admire the Iddu Volcano, so precious to the islanders, but also so feared by them. Notable for its conical shape, it is the most active volcano in Europe: in fact, the earth trembles on this island … although for many it is difficult to part with characteristic black beach and the pretty village of San Vincenzo. We will arrive in San Vincenzo after a navigation of about 2 hours and half.

In the afternoon, it is possible to visit the village or go on a guided tour to appreciate the picturesque scenery at close hand, taking in the mouth of the volcanic crater ; there is also go a guided tour to observe the Sciara del Fuoco on the west side of the isle. The Sciara del Fuoco is a steep and wide wall of volcanic sand that blankets the north east coast of the island, on to which spills lava, burning cinders and rock from the crater that run all the way down to the sea.

Once back at sea level, you can dine on the boat or it will be fun to meet on the panoramic terrace of the Ingrid Bar that usually prepare for all the crews an aperitif based on local cooking .
