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.
Panarea is like a dormant volcano for three quarters of the year that roars into life during the glorious summer months. Head there in the winter and most places will be closed, yet when the sun shines down on the glamourous bars and boutique stores it transforms into a flourishing hub of fashionistas and bourgeoisie. Many tourists come for only a day or two to bask in the shamelessly lavish lifestyle that is synonymous with the island; luxury yachts line the harbour and exquisite sea food is served at the extravagant restaurants. With little to do and even less to see, the island is predominantly used as a getaway for rich jetsetters that long for an escape from the strains and stress of the modern day. Only 300 people reside there permanently, so Italy’s most elegant and fashionable region can oftentimes feel like a secret party where many don’t receive an invite. However, the beauty and style of Panarea is definitely worth sampling, even for only a few days.
The island is car-free, therefore the only viable option is to travel by foot. Most of the restaurants, hotels and bars are located in fairly close proximity, so it is a comfortable stroll for most journeys.
