She witnesses the Stromboli volcano spewing lava + enjoys a fantastic view from the crater rim on Vulcano. She takes a therapeutic mud bath + a dip in the natural whirlpool, tastes fresh capers + sweet dessert wine + discovers a whimsical underwater world complete with sulfur fountains. Your travel companion is a German who first fell in love with the Lipari Islands + then on these very islands. Stromboli - where the mountain spits fire Stromboli on the island of the same name is the most active volcano in Europe: the approximately 930-meter-high mountain of fire spews rock fragments and lava every 15-20 minutes, accompanied by huge clouds of smoke and the finest volcanic dust. Tamina Kallert watches this spectacle from a safe distance from a boat. Culture + Italian flair on Lipari The history of the Lipari Islands dates back to 5,000 B.C. Thus, the traces of Greeks, Romans, Normans, Spaniards, pirates and corsairs can be discovered on Lipari. Tamina Kallert visits the oldest bathing establishment in the world, enjoys the view of the neighboring island of Salina from the Chiesa Vecchia, the old church, and goes fishing. Volcanic glass and pumice To this day, volcanic glass, also called obsidian, can be found on the beaches. Already the Stone Age people processed it to knives + tools. Until the year 2000, one of the highest quality pumice stones in the world was mined on the Lipari Islands. Then Unesco named the region a World Heritage Site + the factories were shut down.
