🌍 Travel tips for the Aeolian Islands

The Aeolian Islands are perfect for those who love the sea, nature, and adventure: you can move between islands by ferry in a short time. If you travel with a car or luggage, carefully consider the routes and boarding options — not all ferries or hydrofoils accept vehicles, and during high season it is best to book in advance. In low/medium season, fares are often cheaper. Also, always check the updated schedules: sea conditions may affect departures.

❓ FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

• What documents do I need to board? — Since these are domestic Italian routes, a valid ID card or passport is sufficient.


• Can I travel with a pet? — Some ferries/hydrofoils allow pets: check the “pet-friendly” options during booking on the company’s website or the portal.


• Can I board a vehicle (car, motorbike, scooter)? — On some routes it is possible, especially when using a ferry (not a hydrofoil). In this case, you must provide the license plate during booking.


• Can I book as a foot passenger only? — Yes: you can purchase a passenger-only ticket (deck/hydrofoil or seat/deck), without a vehicle.


• Are there discounts or special offers? — Companies or the portal often offer discounted fares in low season or for early bookings: always check available deals.


• Can I modify or cancel my booking? — It depends on the company’s policy: check the conditions during booking.
