EOLIAN SAILING

An island to discover

In ancient times the island was called Therasia. Later it took the name of Hiera, because it was sacred to the god Vulcan; hence its current name: Vulcano. According to Greek mythology, on this island placed the Forges of Hephaestus, god of fire and blacksmith who had as helpers the Cyclops, which the Romans called Vulcan, a name that was then given to the island.

Over the years the volcano has never ceased to prove its vitality. Even today, in fact, different phenomena can be observed: the bubbling fumaroles in the middle of the sea of sulphurous mud with appreciated therapeutic properties.
