The Aeolian archipelago is one of the most fascinating spots in the Mediterranean where nature, history and human effort have created over thousands of years a unique place that is utterly original in its unspoilt beauty. Such uncontaminated charm is also due to the prolonged isolation suffered by the seven "sister" islands - isolation that moulded the character of the inhabitants who learned to adapt their lives to a wild environment.
The Islands: Lipari that throbs, or rather, explodes with life in summer, but is no less alluring under winter rain. Alicudi, with its rock arches. Filicudi and the unequalled charm of the "Grotta del Bue Marino". Panarea, abandoned for centuries for fear of pirate raids. Salina with her twin peacks called "Dydime" by the Greeks. Stromboli where the dozing "colossus" occasionally roars and then Vulcano with its fumaroles and black sands.
You become aware of the ancientness of the Aeolian Islands as soon as you wander along the roads and paths, or as you look at the acropolis - now called "Il Castello" - upon which Lipari has centred its everyday life. Or else as you look at the dwellings clinging to the rock face, at a safe distance from the sea, which did indeed bring wealth but also fear. An ancient fear that the islanders have not forgotten but exorcized by calling one of the most beautiful spots on Panarea Drautto after a ferocious Turkish pirate.
The inland scenery of the archipelago is stunning. Clambering along the old mule paths, immersed in the raw beauty of the mountain and the scent of the sea, is an experience that few people, whether trekkers or not, can resist.
Spectacular views unfold as you wander along hill crests, enjoying the colour of capers, tomatoes, vines and wild flowers that grow only in the islands' rich volcanic soil.
Seven islands with different characteristics, it is necessary to visit her all and later to choose the preferred one. For the one that has never come in the Islands Eolie it recommends him to start from Lipari, that is the greatest and that with more services, it is to the center of the archipelago and are easy to move themselves with half public as ships and hydroplanes that with private boats to visit all the islands. The distances among the islands are small (from 2 to 16 miles the distances between Lipari and the other islands).
The Aeolian people love this land that yields fruits of unique flavour, and their respect is reflected in the architetture. The whitewashed houses snuggle harnoniously into the landscape. Inside, natural materials are still used to construct the characteristic cane and pumice beamed ceilings and the windows built around a bottomless pot.
The sea is clear, there is a variety of fantastic depths , from the white of the Cave di Pomice to the green of the waters of "Ginostra", from the "sulfuree" waters of Volcano to the blue depth of the Ponente, from the grasslands of "poseidonie" to the deep corals. Rich the flora and the sea fauna, the Eolies under the water are all to discover. The beautiful one of these islands is really the variety of the nature, there isn' t an equal place to the other and the life it flows different among an island and the other although is all so near ones. In all the islands there are the essential services: electric light; water that is brought with ships and distributed with the aqueduct; medical watches; pharmaceutical counters; Boxes Automatic teller machine; runway for helicopters of help; recharged cylinders; rent boats; rent mopeds and cars, where admitted; newspaper kiosk; tobacconists' shop; alimentary shops; and other shops.
