  it's a hard walk to get over there but it's worth! The landscape is stunning and the volcano itself is wonderful. If you aren't properly equipped rent shoes and socks at any of the "car rental": they will be helpful!

  The island of Volcano is a fascinating place with the combination of bubbling mud pools to coat ones self in for therapeutic purposes then the rinse off in the hot mineral springs that come from the sea bed near by. You can chose the temperature you want by moving closer or away from the spring. The village atmosphere makes the Porto Di Levante a delightful place to visit

  Eolian Islands trip will not be complete without a climb of Vulcano. The attractions is free of charge and takes around an hour and a half upwards, an hour wondering around at the top and the same on the way down. Bring water and a camera :-) No food at the top, but a small shack with orange juice after around 200m. BRING GOOD SHOES as the gravel might be slippery, though the walk itself is quite easy (while steep).Views are amazing, the vulcano is a fascinating sight - with smoke still coming through. Don't worry to get close, it doesn't burn.

  Ones must visit this place. The hill is not tall but somewhat sleep. Remember to bring your hiring boots. It takes around one hour to reach the crater. Ones can enjoy spectacular views over Vulcano and Lipari. This place can be included in your day-trip from Lipari.

  This was on our list of things to do on Vulcano and definitely should be on yours if you're visiting the island of Vulcano for a few days.Suggest climbing when the sun is weaker as there's little shade and if you go up between hours of noon and say 5pm you will very well melt - take plenty of water!It's quite a steep but short ascent to the top and the walk around the crater is fascinating.... see the sulphur holes and the crater in the bottom and the stunning views from the top looking down over the islands!

  This was great fun, we intend to go there again. The view is fantastic and the smoke and sulphur comming from the vulcano set a scary background

  Vulcano Island's main crater , no guide necessary unlike Stromboli. It lies south of Porto di Levante and there's a supermarket on the way to stock up on water and snacks for the hike. It's a total of 2k from port to crater rim. Toughish climb, no shade from sun . Hike the rim anti clockwise as it's downhill to avoid inhaling the sulphurous fumes any longer than necessary. There's a clear path that goes slightly below the rim that crosses through a few steamy blowholes ( have a handkerchief ready over mouth and nose to avoid inhaling the acrid fumes. There are warning signs before the hike that warns about getting too close to the steaming blowholes, however, having assessed the risks and benefits I did so - and will not regret the decision. It's safe and path is fairly solid ( wear sturdy boots for the hike anyway ).Worth the hard hike!

  I promised my husband while on the ferry that when we landed on Vulcano we would relax by the pool and then kayak the next day. I didn't know we would be able to scale the volcano and peer into the crater's edge. I giant glass of fresh squeezed orange at the base and some free walking sticks. My shoes were totally inappropriate but I wasn't going to miss out on this opportunity over such minor detail. What a very cool thing to have done and I'm so glad I didn't miss it.

  It's one of the points on the list "Must see in your life" :) Great breathtaking place. Landscapes straight from the Moon ;) it takes only about an hour to reach the crater. You have to see it!

  I love these views, some say I am a romantic. The trip is short and you can make it, go now and smell the sulphur babe.
