The Aeolian Islands are a group of islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea and a real insider tip for sailors in the Mediterranean. Practical tips for a successful trip in the sailing paradise north of Sicily can be found in the following sailing guides and nautical charts.
The seven islands are home to two active volcanoes. The volcanic landscapes and hot springs can be visited on shore excursions. The sailing area off Sicily's north coast is scenically beautiful but not without its challenges. The most important information for sailors is summarised in the sailing guides and nautical charts.
