josephshub Says: Vulcano is a very interesting island due to its volcanic and post-volcanic phenomena. Its plateau, the widest of the Aeolian Islands, is surrounded by hills, falling towards the seaIn the middle of Vulcano, you can find the Gran Crater or Vulcanic Cone (385 metres) which is...
ralfar Says: if you like walking, you can cross vulcano to the other side of the island from the harbour and you arrive on the coast which faces the Milazzo coast. there you will find a long downhill to a beach, with black sand called spiaggia del asino. perfect for swimming.

LtMassive Says: Around 300 m to climb. Be careful of the sun!in the afternoon it's become free to go there.In the top, you must hold your breath to avoid sulfur smoke, and never try to take some yellow rocks (about 100°C). Just cross the sulfur path and enjoy the view

Camping site (not togo togo): relaxed and out off the main areas
ralfar Says: i slept in a fantastic camping site of which i did not recordthe name, it is not by the sea, but in a side street off the main areas. the owner ( signor rino) is charming and made me very welcome there. apparently, he is very popular in the summer months, especially with...
LtMassive Says: Easy access from the sea. It's fun to spend some nights there in a tent. Outside showers are awesome. And Rhino the bartender is always ready to help. he talk french too. And a wonderful view of smoking vulcano

If you want to savor typical Eolian fare, you are right at l`Approdo.
The restaurant lies in a beautiful garden close to Vulcanos mainstreet and offers excellent starters, seafood and meat as well as a selection of delicious Sicilian wine at modest prices.
Favorite Dish: Pasta a la matriciana con Ricotta and seafood - homemade pasta, thick like one kids finger, deliciously seasoned with grated Ricotta-cheese, tomatoes and mussels plus pieces of fish and octopus.

marco2005 Says: If you are intended to visit Vulcano island (as well as the others Eolie islands) be aware that in summer time is issued an ordination to limit the vehicular access.This last summer (2005) in the period 1st July - 30th September ONLY the resident locals can access with cars...

josephshub Says: In Port Levante you can book a local boat to Lipary. It's a good idea to book it before climbing to Vulcano (the climbing takes about 2-3 hours). We asked to put our luggage before climbing, so the 385 to Gran Crater was not so difficult. It not exists the schedule to...

I don’t have a photo of it but one day on Vulcano the wind came up, and it was so strong that I had trouble standing up in it. The only thing to do was stay inside our room and read for the day. I believe this is not uncommon and the next day was perfect. So my tip is if the wether turns bad…tomorrow might be perfect so read a good book and wait it out.
I should also mention that when the wind is not blowing at 100knots it smells…. Of sulphur ……..a lot!

ralfar Says: the unique walk up to the crater of vulcano is fantastic and not to be missed. the sulphur fumes on the rim somewhat make you nervous,,,,,and you pray that nothing happens when you are up there because you are definitely finished!!! it is like you are standing on a bomb in...

Favorite thing: There are not many information on the net, specifically dedicated at Vulcano island.
Try this one (but only italian language) www.isoladivulcano.com, it's full of the useful info we traveller need: how to get there, accomodation, what to do, and so on.
