Your sailing trip
Embark with us on a fantastic sailing adventure to discover by feet the incomparable beauty of the Nebrodi Mountains and catch in your viewfinder the special panoramas of the Aeolian Islands.
The proposed experience is articulated in three days residing in a villa located near the territory of the Nebrodi Mountains, the mountain range overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and seven days aboard a beautiful sailingboat in the Aeolian Islands.
The Nebrodi Mountains are a surprising territory, a Regional Natural Park, consisting mostly of woods and surrounded by ancient villages that preserve unique traditions. Between rich beech forests and rocky areas you will discover lakes, small waterfalls and craggy mountains tops inhabitated by animal species such as eagles and griffins. TDuring our sojourn in this beautiful mountainous area we will let the panorama inspire our yoga session and learn how to prepare some special dishes of the fine local cuisine in the best Sicilian tradition.
After this first few days immersed in the clean air of the Nebrodi Mountains we will leave the villa an board a sailing boat setting sail for the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. Coming out of the blue sea, they are a little piece of paradise on Earth offering exciting sailing adventures every day. Stunning waters for swimmers and sailors, hissing volcanoes for trekkers and honey-sweet Malvasia wine for gourmets will be the highlights of this sailing adventure between land and sea.
Here too there will have ample opportunity to enjoy (...and learn!) about the local gourmet specialties and become one with nature, both by swimming in the crystal clear waters that lap the sandy coast of the Aeolian Islands and trekking up the volcano in Stromboli to catch from the nearest possible point the incredible lava eruptions. During this sailing adventure in the Aeolian Islands we will continue to enjoy our yoga lessons, finding always new exciting places that will assist us in finding the right kind of relaxation and deep introspection to let our mind, body and spirit become one!
