Our tour of the island of Vulcano starts from the Port of Levante, very well known for its fumaroles and its springs spas. Continuing northwest you arrive at the peninsula of Vulcanello and then, as soon as you pass the channel that divides Vulcano from Lipari and heading south, you arrive at the beautiful Cavallo Cave characterized by fantastic games of light. This cave is also known as the Cave of the Hermit and is accessible from three entrances. Inside there are galleries, ponds, stalactites, stalagmites that, with the effect of sulphurous waters and vapors, have created very particular domed vaults.
For diving lovers, in the area of Capo Testa Grossa, there is a beautiful cove with fascinating colonies of sponges. Between the Quaglietto rock and Capo di Testa Grossa there is a beach considered the most beautiful of all the Lipari Islands with natural pools. call the Virgin Bath. So I end the tour of this wonderful island of volcano and return to the Port of Ponente. It remains to mention the thermal mud pond where you can take a natural mud bath in the open air... That's right: Vulcano is an open-air spa island!
