Aeolian Islands, UNESCO World Heritage archipelago in Sicily, Italy.
Seven volcanic islands form this Mediterranean archipelago with Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi, and Panarea spread across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Ancient communities manufactured obsidian tools and established trade networks across the Mediterranean from these islands starting around 4000 BC.
The Archaeological Museum in Lipari Castle displays regional artifacts, while local vineyards produce traditional Malvasia wine from sun-dried grapes.
Regular ferry services connect the main port of Lipari to Sicily, providing transportation for 200,000 annual visitors across the seven islands.
Stromboli maintains continuous volcanic activity, creating natural light displays through regular eruptions visible from sea level.
