What travelers are saying
- David MHalifax, Canada47 contributionsFascinating place. As a geologist, this was on my bucket list. Had an opportunity to explore during a cruise excursion. Didn't have a lot of time, but it was very enjoyable. Our guide was quite a fun and interesting guy. Playing Pink Floyd tunes as we ascended and descended to and from the crater. It's chilly and windy. Dress appropriately!Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NellDDNew York City, NY81 contributionsGreat spot to camp out for the day. No services, so bring whatever food or drink you want for the day. And water shoes would help getting in and out of the water, which you will want to do - it's so beautiful!Written September 8, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Iva SPrague, Czech Republic700 contributions31. 8. 2021 Megaliti dell’Argimusco - amazing experience. one feels like an ant walking under rock giants of various shapes. A geological gem.

- SissiGateshead, UK226 contributionswe got a boat trip to Lipari and then Vulcano. I was looking forward to Vulcano to go swimming in the hot water and the mud bath. The latter unfortunately was closed. However, the hot springs are free so it was nice to go into the water. You have to try and forget about the disgusting smell from the Vulcano, although it is everywhere, but it certainly is an experience.
We also went to see the black beach and hired a car to go to the top of a mountain with brilliant views over to Lipari, Stromboli and Gina's breasts :D (Malfa). Worthwhile the experience.Written June 4, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- natalieklotzerEspoo, Finland15 contributionsGrotte della Gurfa is a very old manmade cave. The children (age 4, 4 and 7) loved running around in the main cave and the smaller upper level caves. We were the only visitors, and the guide was extremely friendly and helpful.Written June 12, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brun066Florence, Italy14,027 contributionsIn an area like this, many are the clues that lead to reflect on the gap between the beauty of nature and the poor management of it. E. g., the sea promenade in the neighboring Porticello village is in fact ugly and smelly, the road leading from Porticello to Aspra runs along the coast but the sea is not accessible due to the second houses that prevent (probably unlawfully) almost every access.
Luckily, a new hope for some improvement has been recently given by the story of this "Arco azzurro" (Blue Arc). Until recently also it had been progressively closed to any access from the public street; as I understand it, thanks to some citizens' engagement, a gate was recently reopened by the municipality - managed by young volunteers - again allowing access to this geological wonder.
It's a bit difficult to locate the access point, you probaly will need to ask for information in the area around (so we did). But on the spot, the satisfaction for this recovery of public access to the heritage is such that I would willingly pay even more than the inexpensive 2 euro entry ticket.
It is hoped that this situation will remain stable, and that the lack of civicness will not overwhelm it again.Written November 10, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- josephine gRome, Italy32 contributionsDelightful 30minute walk with free entrance and leaflet indicating the relevant geological volcanic formations. You need a car or moped to arrive. Local winery next to the entrance offers excellent wine tasting aperitif for €8 with magnificent views. Get there late afternoon to enjoy the approaching sunset. Worth the trip.Written September 25, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BIG_VINXMilan, Italy3,424 contributionsThe Favare are steam emissions, reaching up to 100°C which come out of cracks in the rock. Near these openings the rock is a rich red brick colour due to the sulphurous anhydride and sulphuric acid emissions. The Favare are located in the Natural Reserve of the Island of Pantelleria. It is a great little hike with some awesome free views of the sea. There is abundant wildlife and flowers that offer some of the best photographs I've taken. The view of the Favare is also magnificent the closer you get to it.Written August 15, 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- phat_dawg_21Alpharetta, GA17,329 contributionsWe did a day trip to Salina from Lipari and this was one of the points of interest we visited. Our captain explained that the area was a caldera, a crater of a volcano, and that the arch was formed by erosion of the wall of the volcano.Written August 13, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland31,614 contributionsThis cave is only assessable by boat. However the waters can be choppy and difficult to hold steady. The water in the cave is truly blue. Around the back is a second cave.Written May 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
