The island of Vulcano is the furthest south of the Aeolian archipelago. Lipari is just 1 nautical mile to the north. On the Sicilian mainland the closest towns are Portorosa (15 nm to the south) and Milazzo (16 nm to the southeast).
The Island of Vulcano is the source of the word "volcano" in English. This island has numerous features of secondary volcanism. It is a green island with clear water and bubbling springs, mud baths, black sand, and health spas. Archeological ruins have not been found on this island, and the historical documents on Vulcano tell stories of a violent and explosive volcano.
Sights to see on the island of Vulcano:
Porto di Ponente: visit the picturesque bay with a long black sand beach. While navigating near the bay there are panoramic views of the southern coast of Lipari and the Gran Cratere of Vulcano. The last eruption was between 1888-1890, it has steam vents and is quite impressive when seen from the water.
Porto di Levante: stop in the scenic bay or moor at the floating pier, near the city center and take a dip in the therapeutic mud baths and natural saltwater hot springs heated by volcanic gases.
Gelso: discover the isolated beaches of fine black sand surrounded by green hillsides covered with vineyards.
Grotto del Cavallo: swim near the grotto and the unique natural pool of Venere. This part of the coast is rugged and layers of different colored stratification are visible.
These are the most populare sites on the island of Vulcano.
