The Island Alicudi

Alicudi, with just under 100 inhabitants, is considered the smallest and most unspoilt of the Aeolian Islands. This archipelago, which also includes the famous Aeolian Islands, has been recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

The island covers an area of 5.2 square kilometres, only a third of which is cultivated. The volcano that formed the island, which became extinct 15,000 years ago, rises majestically to a height of 675 metres. The Tyrrhenian Sea around Alicudi is unusually deep, which results in outstanding water quality and enables snorkelling and diving experiences of unique beauty.
