SUMMARY
This trip report describes a week of island-hopping around the Aeolian Islands. The distances between the islands are short, leaving plenty of time for hiking. We are treated to spectacular panoramic walks, steep rocky coastlines, lush vegetation, steaming volcanoes, picture-perfect little towns, black lava beaches and secluded bays. The islands we visited – Vulcano, Salina, Panarea and Lipari – each have their own distinctive character despite the many things they have in common.
