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.
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.
For this reason all the houses of the village are now renovated, but always in the typical Aeolian style.
Some of the most common plants that adorn the alleys are bougainvillea, in different colours, and jasmine, which, especially at night, gives off a pleasant perfume.
