Description:
The Aeolian Islands are a volcanic archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea north of Sicily and are a very popular tourist destination.
Because the largest island is called Lipari, the islands are sometimes referred to as the Lipari Islands or Lipari group. The other islands include Vulcano, Salina, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi, and Panarea.
Stromboli is a stratovolcano that rises to an elevation of 924 m (3 031 feet). It is renowned for its Strombolian eruptions and is characterized by mild explosive activity and lava flows. Stromboli’s eruptive history spans millennia and records of activity date back to over a thousand years. The volcano’s frequent activity has earned it the moniker “Lighthouse of the Mediterranean.”
Each island has its own unique characteristics and with the on-going volcanic activity here, these islands should not be missed.
These islands get very busy between 15 July and 20 August.
