Vulcano

Island Lipari, Sicily, Italy

What to expect

Vulcano is a small volcanic island in the Aeolian Islands, known for its volcanic activity and stunning landscapes. The island offers a range of activities, including hiking to the crater, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the island and the surrounding sea. You can also relax in the thermal waters of the mud baths, which are renowned for their therapeutic properties. The island has a unique landscape, with fumaroles, sulphurous muds, and a surreal 'Valley of the Monsters' formed by lava rock. The shores of Vulcano are famous for their dark beaches and seabeds, where the lava stone plays with the sunlight's reflections, creating striking effects. Visitors can hire a boat and visit the enchanting Cavallo cave or explore the island by scooter or bicycle
