Beyond the rock of Dattilo, by boat, if you stop and look around, you can see all the rocks and the isles, each with their own shape and colour. You will feel like you are at the centre of a gallery dedicated to a famous sculptor....
Arriving from the prehistoric village to the beach of the bay of Cala Junco, you can see large pebbles, made smooth by the waves of the sea. If you pick one up that is a little more porous, you will notice that it releases the purest salt....
Though very small and characterised by tiny pedestrian alleys, the village of Panarea is one of the best kept of the Aeolian Islands.
In fact, Panarea was one of the first islands of the archipelago to be discovered by tourism, as early as the 1950s. It follows that all the houses of the village a...
Going down from the village to the little beach in the bay of Cala Junco, you will find the very dark basalt rock faces. They have a particular structure that makes their surface look like embossed blocks, similar to a tortoise shell.
This is an effect of the slow cooling of these rocks, called ba...
Like all the other islands of the archipelago, Alicudi is not intensely (or even averagely) urbanised. This means that in the evening the heat is never insufferable, due to the ground breeze cooling down the summer heat.
Sometimes, this light wind can become too much. If so, stop along the lava ro...
Though the community of Alicudi now lives off of tourism, by renting out the few houses, a small part of the population is still devoted to fishing.
And the fresh fish you will eat here is something else entirely. If you are in Alicudi during the summer, buy freshly caught squid from the local fis...
Alicudi’s name comes from Ereikousa, related to Erica (heather). You need only go just beyond the main roads to find lots of them. Find one and get lost in the intense scent they give off, especially after sunset....
Alicudi’s geographical position and its distance from the coast mean that as you climb the steps of the only lane that leads from the sea to the top of Monte dell’Arpa, you lose the magnitude of the sea. Even halfway up the coast, looking towards the infinite, it will seem like the blue of the s...
Go to the beach near the port of Filicudi. Here, along with pebbles, you will find volcanic sand, which is typically black. Pick up a handful of sand, perhaps from under the water, and you will feel its delicacy and simultaneous strength and robustness....
Filicudi does not experience mass tourism like other islands. Therefore, any time of the year is ideal for taking a dip in absolute silence.
Close your eyes during the day and if you are lucky you will hear a concert of cicadas.
At night the cicadas are replaced by crickets, owls and other noctu...
