Sicily is the land of fire and volcanoes: from majestic Etna, visible in clear days from Calabria, to Stromboli and the small island of Vulcano, located 20 kilometers north of Sicily and part of the Aeolian Islands.
The island covers an area of 21 square kilometers and known for the acre smell of sulfur that gives the particular yellow color to its land. This unmistakable smell is already heard from the ship before landing, just like its beaches, covered by black lava sand.
However, the beaches and the sea are not the only attraction on the island: the mud area is very popular. It is a kind of natural pool with water temperature, greenish in color, very warm, which is a panacea for rheumatic pains, arthritis and problems of the skin. For those who are not particularly attracted by the smell of mud, you can opt for the heat bath inside the hot cavities, surrounding the mud puddle and & amp; nbsp; that allow skin and muscle stimulation thanks to the natural whirlpool formed by bubbles.
The wealth of the island is not only hidden in the water, but also in the earth. You can't do without a ride through the paths of Vulcano, where you will find volcanic rocks to which nature has given the form of monsters, from which the name the Valley derives of the Monsters, and climb on the crater of the volcano that is still active.
