Introduction to the Aeolian Islands
November 20, 2006
The Aeolian Islands (Isole Eolie o Lipari) have been inhabited for more than 3,000 years, in spite of volcanic activity that even now causes the earth to issue forth sulfuric belches, streams of molten lava, and hissing clouds of steam. Lipari (36 sq. km/14 sq. miles) is the largest and most developed island, Stromboli (13 sq. km/5 sq. miles) is the most distant and volcanically active, and Vulcano (21 sq. km/8 sq. miles), with its brooding, potentially volatile cone and therapeutic mud baths, is the island closest to the Sicilian "mainland." The remaining islands ( Salina, Filicudi, Alicudi, and Panarea ) offer only bare-bones facilities and are visited mainly by day-trippers, if at all.
