Reviews
Great trip, I recommend it to everyone
The trip was very well organized. Lots of interesting information was provided on board by Ithaca representatives. The islands were wonderful. Vulcano was a typical volcanic island with a black sand beach. Lipari was a more touristy island, with plenty of stalls and restaurants. There was a wonderful breeze on the ship, which helped alleviate the heat.
