A temperate climate, in winter the thermometer does not fall below 10° C. Summers are not torrid as made milder by the sea breeze. Explain why, even out of the season, it is possible to enjoy a stay on these isles. They are another world from the cities and their problems ( stress, traffic, pollution) and a perfect destination for sailing holiday.

Both man and geographical traits have given a different slant to each island. Filicudi and Alicudi are a antistress refuge from a polluted environment. Panarea is the fashionable island, destination of an elite tourism. Stromboli and Vulcano (dry and wild), attact the younger, bohemian type. Salina, (with is twin mountains), as the greenest and most quieter is chosen by many families. Lipari, the largest and most inhabited, seat of the town hall of the islands ( except Salina), offers those looking for comfort and space, all the necessary facilities including a well-equipped hospital and sheltered port.
