The Gran Cratere of the Fossa is a vantage point where you can stop, sit and admire the majesty of nature, which in the Aeolian Islands has manifested itself with seven islands and numerous cliffs. So with a single glance, you can see (from right to left towards Lipari) Stromboli and its plumes of b...

The presence of constantly active fumaroles reminds us that the island of Vulcano is an active volcano. The Stack, the rock overlooking the port, is a wonderful natural tower that is now completely yellow and white due to the sulphur and gypsum that have crystallised along its sides. The road that ...

The Sciara del Fuoco is ideal for appreciating the view of the 4 natural elements: the fire of the volcanic products; the earth of the Sciara; the blue sea water and, not to be underestimated, a very pure air that carries the brackish sea air....

Watching the explosions from Stromboli’s summit craters is highly hypnotic and addictive. Try to concentrate on the colours of the lava emitted in the form of scraps. Right at the point of emission it has a very intense yellow colour, nearing white. This yellow then gradually gets darker until...
