A vibrant coastal town nestles at the base of a colorful volcanic slope overlooking a brilliant blue sea dotted with sailboats.

Extreme Adventures

A combination of natural phenomena make Vulcano a dramatic experience, as the crater of the Fossa di Vulcano languorously smokes out Sulphur. Legend tells that the volcano was the chimney of the fire god Vulcan. Today, the crater can be climbed to reach a peak overlooking the Aeolian archipelago and another volcanic summit, mount etna. The most adventurous can walk round the entire crater over sulfurous fumaroles and even venture down inside.

Charter a yacht in Vulcano and bathe in enriching thermal mud pools, or luxuriate in a coastal spa. Wander black sand beaches. Swim volcanic waters. Explore the island’s wild coastline by kayak or tender for the best view. Stroll inland to discover calm gardens and wildlife.
