AEOLIAN ISLANDS

Volcanic-in-origin, they provide a unique model in the historical evolution of studies in vulcanology providing two types of eruption (Vulcanian and Strombolian). Researchers of all levels are attracted here, especially to Stromboli.

It is easy to be attracted by the charm of an erupting volcano like Stromboli or that of Vulcano Island, which has been dormant for more than 100 years. Further downstream, there is the opportunity to wallow in thermal waters and mud baths which offer important therapeutic benefits or to walk on ground full of fumaroles.
