Hotels in Aeolian Islands, Italy
The Aeolian Islands are a volcanic archipelago off Sicily's northern coast, famous for active volcanoes like Stromboli and Vulcano, and black sand beaches. The climate is Mediterranean-hot, dry summers (80°F/27°C) perfect for boat trips around Lipari and Salina, and mild winters (55°F/13°C) when you can hike Stromboli at night to see its glowing lava eruptions. Spring and fall offer the best mix for exploring the seven islands, snorkeling in the Tyrrhenian Sea, or dining on local capers and malvasia wine without summer crowds.
