Despite all this, the Aeolian Islands are still fairly unknown out of Italy and surprisingly unspoiled outside the peak weeks of August, each Island offers its own peculiar atmosphere and charm.
Lipari has a wild coastline and an absolutely wonderful coastal footpath with the option of a predictable town experience in the evenings. For a more sophisticated time, Panarea is the place to be, and to be seen. It also has some of the most wonderful beaches and coastal scenery. Vulcano and Stromboli’s with their black lava beaches, and the opportunity to trek up the volcano have an ‘outdoorsy’ vibe.
Then there are Filicudi and Alicudi – small, quiet, ancient, and quite incredibly beautiful. Not to mention Salina, which provides the full Mediterranean experience. If you want to drink Italian wine on a sun-warmed terrace, gazing out over a green and pleasant land fringed by pebble-beaches, then head for Salina.
