The ancient Hierà, sacred to the gods, abode of Efesto, the god protector of Fire, is the more neighbor to the dry land of the Eolian Islands. Vulcano is a continuous weaving of colors and perfumes that make the island a small masterpiece of the nature. Walking along the weak-lightened roads of the island, you can walk through gas fumaroles spreading directly from the ground, whose characteristic odor of sulphur makes Vulcano an atypical island. You can walk in the beautiful Bay of Sabbie Nere (Black Sands) that look towards the other islands, or you can take a bath in a relaxing desert little bay attainable only with boat.
Vulcano is an important tourist destination and an important thermal station for all those people who wants to grant him the benefits of thermal muds.
