UNESCO counts the Aeolian Islands, off of Sicily's coast, among its World Heritage sites. The seven islands that make up the archipelago are: Vulcano, Stromboli, Alicudi, Filicudi, Panarea, Lipari and Salina.

The Aeolian Islands are a favorite destination for divers from all over the world because of the underwater grottoes and ancient shipwrecks.

Rossellini's 1949 movie Stromboli put the Aeolian island on the cultural map forever.

The "Sciara del Fuoco" is a stream of red-hot lava that travels from Stromboli's volcanic summit to the sea. Seeing it is an unforgettable experience.

A guided exploration of seabed flora and fauna that live, against all odds, in a volcanic environment.

Sport fishing is a great way to discover Stromboli's hidden corners, including Strombolicchio. The little island is a kilometer and a half off the main island.

A marine biologist takes us down to the seabed of Strombolicchio to show us some rare and beautiful specimens of marine animals.
