The town has a fascinating history ' in Greek mythology the Greek god of wind Aeolus is said to have lived on Vulcano. The last major volcanic activity on the island was in 1888, when there was a steady eruption lasting almost two full years. Visitors to this friendly island mustn't leave without having a dip in its famous hot springs and therapeutic sulphur/sulfur mud baths. Vulcano also boasts several good beaches and is reached from Lipari by hydrofoil in just a few minutes.
