Aeolian islands Travel Guide

The Aeolian islands are located just north of Sicily. They are all of volcanic origin and on most of them some volcanic activity can still be experienced.

Vulcano is the southernmost island and has some hot springs, it is best visited as a daytrip from Lipari - the largest island with most inhabitants and the best tourist infrastructure.

But for real adventure you should head out to Stromboli. The volcano on Stromboli is still very active and a hike to the top of the crater and a night spent there is an experience not be missed. Bring warm clothing and a sleeping bag.
