The imposing image of a volcano towering above the minute island will long leave an imprint on the memory, especially after scaling the crater and wandering along the black sands that comprise the beach. Challenging trails emblazon the volcanic area, intertwined between an array of hot springs and mud baths – Vulcano’s landscape is as extreme as you can find. The most popular hot spring is conveniently located next to the ferry terminal, tempting visitors to thrust themselves into the action as soon as they step foot on the enigmatic island. Vulcano may be a wonder in itself, but perhaps the most spectacular view is afforded from the apex of the walking trails, presenting panoramic vistas of the surrounding islands – a breathtaking picture to become the envy of your friends and family. The hikes can be exhausting in the summer heat, so to relax yourself, indulge in one of the mud baths to cleanse your body and mind.
You can cover most areas by foot, though for quicker transport there are also moped rental companies.
Alicudi is in a world of its own; you are more likely to travel by mule than by car, and outside of the summer months you’ll be hard pressed to find another tourist wandering the peaceful streets. If you’re looking for vibrant nightlife or a lively shopping scene then you’re best off looking elsewhere, however, if your perfect day involves scaling a colourful and challenging terrain then Alicudi could be the ideal destination. Even if hiking and exploring isn’t your idea of the best way to spend a few days, it requires a fair amount of energy to discover all of Alicudi. The lack of cars, or any real transport, means that most places must be reached on two feet, though on a pleasant summer’s day, that isn’t the worst thing. After a tiring day in the sun, the only hotel on the island has a restaurant serving sumptuous seafood, which can be enjoyed before heading to bed.
