This Collection is a journey to discover a legendary archipelago, where land and sea blend into breathtaking landscapes. We’ll start from Vulcano, welcoming us with its unmistakable sulfur scents and stunning views from the Gran Cratere. Then, we’ll head to lush Salina, home to Malvasia vineyards and green rolling hills. Here, we’ll taste local specialties like the famous pane cunzatu and an exclusive ricotta and caper granita, a delicacy found nowhere else in the world!
Next, we’ll explore Panarea, the most chic of the islands, with its whitewashed houses and picturesque coves, before taking on Stromboli, witnessing its majestic eruptions at sunset as fiery lava meets the sea. Each day will be the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, great food, and the authentic warmth of these islands. This trip will be filled with unforgettable sunsets, swims in crystal-clear waters, and moments of pure connection with nature and the group—so that we take home not just incredible photos, but also emotions and memories that will last a lifetime.
