The islands are volcanoes too inward places potentially dangerous; for many travellers this but adds to their drama. You tin sentry eruptions on Stromboli from the rim of the volcano's crater - or from a to a greater extent than comfortable pizzeria farther downwards the gradient (my choice). You tin walk around the rim of the crater of Vulcano , unopen to steaming fumaroles. Hot gas bubbles upwardly through the body of body of water , too the beaches are littered amongst chunks of volcanic rocks similar obsidian too pumice.
Highlights of the islands include trekking along mule paths amongst amazing views , eating leisurely pasta lunches past times the bluest body of body of water , taking jolly boat excursions around the shorelines , spotting dolphins , enjoying ice-cold fresh-fruit granitas past times pretty harbours , too relaxing into an isle solid reason of mind: mornings exploring , afternoons on the beach , evenings sipping local vino too watching the passeggiata.

My itinerary worked good , amongst a mixture of smart hotels amongst pools , island-hopping , too settling-in.
I took an afternoon flying to Catania Airport , which meant spending a nighttime inward Catania. If you lot wing before inward the twenty-four lx minutes menstruum , you lot tin instruct to the islands the same evening. I spent ii nights on Panarea , i nighttime on Stromboli , ii on Salina , too thence stayed inward a vacation apartment inward Lipari for the terminal calendar week , making twenty-four lx minutes menstruum trips to Filicudi too Vulcano.

The islands are busiest inward July too August , visited past times thousands of holidaying Italians. Outside this fourth dimension they're much quieter , fifty-fifty inward the balmy warmth of June , thence it's a proficient thought to move inward May , June or September.
I've travelled all around Italy too there's pretty much nowhere I haven't loved. But when I'm on these islands I actually , rattling , but can't imagine wanting to endure anywhere else.
