  • Recommended restaurants
    Casa Grugno One Michelin star
    The restaurant is quite near to the hotel San Domenico, and it is really a treat and lovely way to enjoy the Taormina delights!
    Ristorante Al Duomo
    Known for its romantic terrace dining (with a view of the square and cathedral), this restaurant prepares its dishes using the freshest local produce and regional ingredients.
    Maffei's
    This is very small, with only 10 tables, but serving the best fish in Taormina

Vulcano - Aeolian Islands Highlights

  • Vulcano is a small volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the southernmost of the eight Aeolian Islands
  • Night excursion to the Stromboli to see the Sciara del Fuoco (Slope of Fire)
    At night the lava is glowing as it makes its way down Sciara del Fuoco (Slope of Fire) to meet the sea with a loud hiss. A fiery display of nature’s incredible power
  • Relax by the natural Mud Baths of Vulcano
    The mud is thought to possess healing and soothing qualities for the skin. Swim in the pool then cover your face and body in the mud, let it dry and form a mask, then rinse it off. Next to the mud baths, hot springs make the sea warm and bubbly, like a natural Jacuzzi.
  • Walking up to the summit of the island's main volcano is a must. Upon reaching the summit you’ll be greeted with a stunning panorama of the Aeolian’s, jutting out to the Thyrrenian sea.
