While you are on the boat, just beyond the rock of Dattilo, stop and look around you: all the rocks and isles, each with their own shape and colour, will make you feel like you are standing in the middle of a gallery dedicated to a famous sculptor....
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.
For this reason all the houses of the village a...
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...
Go down from the village to the little beach in the bay of Cala Junco, and look at the very dark basalt rock faces. They have a particular structure that makes their surface look like embossed blocks, similar to a tortoise shell....
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 rock...
The silence in Alicudi is absolutely dominant, even along the only lane that goes from the sea to the top of Monte dell’Arpa. If you want to immerse yourself in absolute silence, interrupted only by the singing of the summer cicadas, head for the top of the mountain....
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 fishe...
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...
Spend some time in Filicudi looking for typical products made on the island. From the inevitable capers to tomatoes, aubergines and courgettes grown in spring and summer, you will discover new flavours, characteristic of these products....
