Episode 42: Aeolian Islands, Volume 2: Alicudi & Filicudi

Join us as we sail into the remote and enchanting Aeolian Islands of Alicudi and Filicudi, two of the most untouched jewels off the coast of Sicily. These islands feel like stepping back in time — with no cars on Alicudi, mule paths winding up the volcanic slopes, and the serene silence of an island largely untouched by tourism. On Filicudi, we explore the charming harbor of Pecorini a Mare, the prehistoric village of Capo Graziano, and the dramatic volcanic cliffs, including the iconic La Canna sea stack rising out of the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea. From anchoring in crystal-clear waters to discovering local traditions and savoring the authentic simplicity of Aeolian island life, this journey captures the magic of sailing to places where nature and history remain in perfect balance. If you’ve ever dreamed of venturing beyond the more famous Aeolian Islands like Lipari or Stromboli, this episode reveals why Alicudi and Filicudi are the true hidden treasures of Sicily.
