Simply Travel - Villas & Hotels in the Aeolian Islands

Aeolian Islands Off the north-east coast of Sicily, only a ferry ride or hydrofoil from Milazzo, the Aeolian Islands were colonised around 580 BC and named after the mythical figure Aeolus, who is said to have kept the winds bottled up in a cave.

Lipari is the liveliest of the islands and has a wide range of restaurants and shops as well as historical sites such as an archaeological museum and a 17th-century castle built on Greek ruins.

Salina is the second largest member of the Aeolian archipelago and is known at the 'garden island' due to a landscape cloaked with vineyards and its waters populated with fish and octopus.

Panarea is the tiny, jet-set island of the rich and famous and unlike Lipari and Salina, local buses are not needed to get round the island. Identifiable by its stark white houses and brilliant yellow 'ginestra', it boasts several small, exclusive hotels and the holiday-homes of many high profile, wealthy Italians.
