The Aeolian
archipelago
The
Aeolian archipelago
consists of seven
islands spread over a 90
km sea arch, along
Sicily's north-east
coast.
They are
dispersed in a large
Y-shape. Vulcano is at
the lower end, with
Alicudi and Stromboli
respectively being at
the west and east
extremes.
The
Aeolian islands are all
of volcanic origin;
signs of this volcanic
activity being the
underwater hot water
springs and the
therapeutic spa mud. The
oldest are Alicudi and
Filicudi which are
approximately 1 million
years old. The most
recent are Vulcano and
Stromboli, which still
have volcanic activity.
Lipari's islands, thanks
to its favourable
geographic position,
enjoy a typically
Mediterranean climate.
The average temperatures
vary from 10° C in
winter, to 20-21° C
in spring and autumn,
while during the summer
the thermometer shows
temperatures between
27-30 C. Rainfall is
scarce, especially in
summer.
