We sail through the enchanting bays of the Aeolian Islands, soaking in the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea. The Aeolian Islands, named after Aeolus, the Lord of the Winds, offer a unique blend of mythology, nature, and history. Sailing with the wind, we immerse ourselves in the magic of these lands.
