In the north-east of Sicily there is a paradise where the mystery of nature is reflected seven times in a clean sea water. One has the impression to admire something that belongs to the beginning of the world: the seven islands of the Aeolian islands emerge from the sea floor as seven huge shards of lava congealed and anchored to the bottom of the sea.
The islands have been enhanced and immortalized by writers and painters and great travelers of the past as Dumas, the Archduke Luigi Salvatore of Austria (Luis Salvador of Habsburg-Lorraine of the branch of Tuscany), Deodat de Dolomieu, Spallanzani, and others the have described in imaginative and evocative tones.
 

The formation of the seven islands began over 700,000 years ago, and it contributed to the elevations of the seabed Quaternary age, even today, the Aeolian Islands are for the researchers a real open book, a vital laboratory where the geological evolution of our planet can be studied directly.
The primitive fire, the ancient struggle between the elements have created a diverse set of amazing spots on the coast where they were generated caves, cliffs, obelisks, rocks, smooth walls, black sand beaches surrounded by a sea full of fish to this day.
The volcanic soil is fertile and all the islands were once covered by forests of oak trees and a Mediterranean impenetrable to humans, especially in the last two centuries, has largely replaced with agricultural crops.

 

Communication difficulties of the past between islands and mainland imposed, in fact, a total self-sufficiency, which has led to the division of farmland into fields, often made of dry stone walls and terraces built entirely by hand by generations of farmers.
 

Today, the agricultural landscape no longer has the appearance of a time and olive trees, almond, fig, capers, lives that had taken the place of the spot are greatly reduced as production realities. However, it was felt in recent years a significant recovery in agriculture on the initiative of private citizens who have returned to cultivate abandoned vineyards and produce wine, while others hand-made pickles and pickled products.
The lava creator of the seven islands would have been necessary for the edification of the oldest Aeolian houses, those that still characterize the landscape. Architecture are essential cubes side by side horizontally or vertically, depending on the needs of the family.

Openings for access were small and light and very thick walls, in the winter to keep the heat developed by cuisine or simple braziers, and for coolness in summer. The foundations were made of blocks of lava, pumice stone walls, and floors of the terraces of tufa.

 

Each part of the building housing the economy was strictly functional, so, for example, the so-called "astrico" or the roof terrace, was used to collect rainwater in underground tanks below the egg-shaped.
The entrance door opened on the "bagghiu”, a covered terrace with a vine pergola or “cannizzi” supported by large pillars cylindrical stone plaster," Pulera”.
Along the "bagghiu" there was always a step stone floor seats, which opened at the entrance of the tank and, nearby, was placed on the wash.

 

Even today in the Aeolian islands: traditional landscapes, perfect balance, where you can feel the serenity, tourists are attracted, as once the writers and illustrators that were known to the world, the extraordinary scenery and numerous traces of the past.
It is possible to visit the remains of ancient villages of prehistoric huts, go up the flanks of active volcanoes to observe closely the explosion, along trails in the bush that can reach angles of wild beauty where you still encounter hawks, buzzards and ravens, visit ancient ruins and museum collections of the world.
The coast also offer boat trips with unexpected views of caves, rocks, complex reefs, beaches of fine volcanic sand.

 

Each island of the archipelago are specializing more and more of its tourist offer:
Lipari, the largest, attracts many Italian and foreign visitors for the great landscape and cultural heritage and providing that usually make daily excursions to other islands. Salina is instead devoted to a family tourism and torque, using homes owned or rented and small romantic hotels.  Panarea, the island chosen by Italian and foreign VIPs who have restored their homes. Not only life and turned colors and lighting with its boutiques, hotels and trendy nightclubs, but also rich in natural angles and atmospheres.
Vulcano attracts a rather young tourists and colorful.  Filicudi, quieter, is for a tourist who wants to be secluded, away from the crowds, but that is not ashamed to move around by car or boat, a pleasure to find that the evening's friends every summer.  Alicudi is a very special place, suitable only for the purists of tourism on the island has no roads or paths, only an endless succession of stone steps that climb the side of the volcano, linking scattered groups of real Aeolian houses very well restored. On the island there is nothing but a small restaurant and two grocery stores well stocked. 

Finally Stromboli, inhabited by people from Sicily and other parts of the world who have decided to live here in close contact with nature.
