The Aeolian Islands form an archipelago consisting of seven real islands, to which are added islets and rocks emerging from the sea. The seven islands are located off northern Sicily, in front of the Tyrrhenian coast of Messina and are therefore visible from much of the Tyrrhenian coast of Sicily when visibility is excellent and there is no haze.

Vulcano is the closest island to Sicily and to separate it from Lipari > it's a small channel just over a mile wide. Its name comes from the Roman god and is composed of the volcanoes Lentia, Piano, Vulcanello and Fossa, the most active of the four. The island is characterized by the perennial manifestations of volcanic nature, much appreciated by tourists who also go there to enjoy the hot mud and underwater fumarolas useful for spa treatments. The characteristic smell of sulfur, which is also used for inhalation therapies, becomes more intense if you take advantage of the opportunity to make some unforgettable excursions to the Crater della Fossa, surrounded by 'fumaroles', emissions of sulphurous vapors that escape from the Earth's surface.

The Fumarole Beach, where you can swim in the “warm sea”, and the Black Beaches, are definitely preferred destinations for tourists, to which should not miss the opportunity of an excursion to the crater, the Valley of the Monsters, the Horse Cave and the Pool of Venus. The Island of Vulcano offers countless possibilities for fun, with its nightclubs and the shopping center, the thermal park and its geothermal pools pools geothermal where you can immerse yourself in a setting of great scenographic impact, pampered and massaged by the flow of water, enjoying a wellness center ready to please you with relaxing massages.
