Sail around Aeolian Islands

Why go? Eva and Pietro, who met while volunteering on an ocean conservation boat, went on to work together on several sailing catamarans before founding Eco Sailors, driven by their shared dream: To offer a vegan, solar powered, sustainable travel destination. Now, you can sail through the crystalline waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of Sicily. This archipelago is not just a sought-after tourist destination but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Can't miss: The 7 Main Aeolian Islands: The imposing, volcanic presence of Stromboli; the smoky haze surrounding Vulcano; Lipari, home to an archaeological museum; Salina, known for its Malvasia wine and capers; Panarea, with its charming whitewashed houses; Filicudi, perfect for nature lovers and divers; and Alicudi, untouched and traditional, with no cars and a peaceful atmosphere.

Where? Tyrrhenian Sea, Sicily

Luna, a classic ketch (beaufort 16m or 52ft) from'77 designed by J.J. Herbulot.

Lipari, where you onboard Luna is the largest Aeolian island, is said to have been home to Aeolus, god of the winds, who predicted the weather by watching volcanic clouds.

Eggplants are a staple in Sicilian cuisine, this one is Frittelle di melanzane, veganized.

Just another nature painting.
