A weekend in the Aeolians: making it all fit
Two nights are enough for a real taste of the archipelago — if you pick one base and don't chase everything.
The rule: one base only
With two nights, changing island every day means spending the holiday on hydrofoils. Pick one base — Lipari for services, Salina for nature — and move from there.
Suggested outline
Friday: afternoon crossing and an evening at your base. Saturday: the main excursion (Stromboli's evening volcano climb, or Vulcano's Gran Cratere at dawn). Sunday: sea in the morning, return in the afternoon.
The mistake to avoid
Booking the last return run with no margin: if the sea rises, it gets cancelled. Always keep a spare run before the one you actually need.

Stay in Capo d'Orlando
A base in the centre — and everything else becomes a day trip.
The port for the Aeolians is 45 minutes away, the Nebrodi right behind. Breakfast served early for dawn departures.
