Panoramic Viewpoints & Peaks

This collection features the most prominent volcanic landforms and observation points across the Aeolian archipelago. It includes Salina’s twin extinct peaks, Monte Fossa delle Felci and Monte dei Porri, alongside Lipari’s white pumice slopes at Monte Pilato. Visitors can observe active volcanic activity from the rim of Vulcano’s Gran Cratere or watch lava debris descend the Sciara del Fuoco on Stromboli. Coastal lookouts like Quattrocchi and Capo Grillo provide clear lines of sight to the Faraglioni sea stacks and neighboring islands.

F

Sciara del Fuoco

A steep, black slope on the northern side of Stromboli where lava flows and volcanic debris from the active craters descend into the sea.

G

Vulcanello

A volcanic peninsula formed by submarine eruptions beginning in the 2nd century BC. It is connected to the main island of Vulcano by a narrow isthmus.

H

Vulcano

The primary active crater on Vulcano island. The summit features active sulfur fumaroles and provides a full view of the surrounding islands and the Vulcanello peninsula.

I

Belvedere di Stimpagnato

Located on the island of Filicudi, this vantage point offers views of the 71-meter-high La Canna sea stack and the nearby islet of Montenassari.

J

Monte Pilato

A mountain on Lipari composed of white pumice and obsidian. It marks the site of the island's most recent volcanic eruptions, which occurred around 729 AD.
