Marina Corta in Lipari Island
(Aeolian Islands)
Located in the Tyrrhenian Sea just north of the
Italian island of Sicily, the Aeolian Islands are an archipelago formed by
volcanic activity. The Aeolian Islands are part of Italy and commonly accessed
via Sicily. There are seven main Aeolian Islands, which have a combined total
of over 1,200 square kilometers (463 square miles) of land. There are also
several smaller islets in the archipelago. The main islands in the archipelago
are Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli, Filicudi, and Alicudi. Two active
volcanoes are located in the Aeolian Islands: Stromboli and Vulcano.
The main island of the group is Lipari, which serves
as a transportation hub and base for visitors to the islands. Vulcano is home
to the volcano named Vulcano, and is a popular destination for beach vacations
and mud baths. Stromboli, though most remote, is a popular spot to visit for
its regularly active volcano. The other islands offer scenic nature and great
views of the volcanoes.
