Are you dreaming of spending your summer vacation on a pristine and peaceful island? Vulcano is the right place for you! This small volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, about 25 km north of Sicily, is located at the southernmost end of the seven Aeolian Islands.
The island takes its name from the actual volcanic activity that is still active on its territory. Many tourists come to the island, especially in summer, to enjoy the hot, sulfurous waters and volcanic mud, and to admire the fumaroles and gases that escape from the rocks.
Vulcano offers a unique natural landscape, beautiful hiking trails, spectacular cliffs and a deep blue sea that make it the perfect destination for those seeking total relaxation and for outdoor activities. Since the 80's tourism has become the main source of wealth of the island, but continues to cultivate vineyards and fine grapes.
The most famous beach, the "Sabbie Nere" is the only fairly large sandy beach in the Aeolian Islands. The stretch of sea is characterized by volcanic gas emissions. A typical attraction of the island is the "hiking to the crater", which lasts about an hour and allows you to get to the top to admire one of the most suggestive panoramas of the Aeolian islands with a view of all seven islands.
Connections to Vulcano are offered regularly by the shipping companies Liberty Lines, Siremar, Snav and Alilauro, which have modern hydrofoils or comfortable ferries.
