Aeolian Islands Through the Ages Ep 2/2 Island-by-Island Tour

Aeolian Islands Through the Ages Ep 2/2 Island-by-Island Tour Join us on a journey through the stunning beauty of the Aeolian Islands - a group of volcanic islands off the coast of Sicily. With so many islands to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decide which ones to visit. The Aeolian Islands, a volcanic archipelago north of Sicily, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for their dramatic landscapes, ancient history, and mythological associations. Lipari, the largest, has been inhabited since Greek colonists arrived in 580 BC, later serving as a Carthaginian base and Roman spa town. Its acropolis, city walls, and archaeological museum reveal millennia of history, from Saracen raids to pirate attacks, while pumice mining remains central to its economy. Vulcano, whose very name gave rise to the word “volcano,” last erupted in 1890 and is steeped in myth as the forge of Hephaestus. Salina, with its twin volcanic peaks, is renowned for capers, olives, and sweet Malvasia wine, and was a filming location for Il Postino. Stromboli, the “Lighthouse of the Mediterranean,” is one of the world’s most active volcanoes, inspiring Jules Verne and Tolkien alike. Filicudi and Alicudi preserve Bronze Age ruins and legends of witches, while Panarea, the smallest, offers thermal springs, shipwreck dives, and has become a glamorous retreat for summer visitors. Together, the islands combine raw volcanic power, deep cultural layers, and natural beauty that have fascinated travellers since antiquity. 0:00 Lipari 6:35 Salina 8:00 Stromboli 8:50 Filicudi 9:30 Alicudi 10:00 Panarea Why are Pumice and obsidian produced in Lipari, in the History of the Aeolian Islands?
