Lipari’s lively, colourful harbour is at the foot of a high cliff, where the old town centre used to be. This island has always been the most important of the island group.
If you find yourself on the island of Salina, then you must take a hike up the mountains Monte Porri and Monte Fossa delle Felci.
On Monte Fossa delle Felci, an old crater has become home to gigantic bracken (felci aquiline), which together with the rest of the rich vegetation on Salina, makes this a tropical paradise.
This is the most northern of the Aeolian islands. With its pure geometric lines, it is permanently encircled by volcanic steam. Its harbour, Ginostra, with its difficult mooring access, is one of the smallest in the world.
This island with its smoking volcanic pools and bubbling sludge resembles a relic from some distant past. The impressive crater rises 386 meters, and can be easily and safely viewed from the top where you can see the two harbours to the east and west.
