Make the most of the mini-cruises departing from Tropea to reach Panarea. Consider extending your stay for a few days to relish a delightful holiday in the captivating Aeolian Islands. In Panarea, explore the island further using smaller boats, partaking in exciting excursions or reaching other charming destinations within the Aeolian archipelago.
Panarea
With its surface area of 3.3 square kilometers, it is the smallest island among the Aeolian Islands, yet its charm and beauty make it truly unique.
Inhabited since prehistoric times, it now has about 280 residents during the winter.
The western side of the island descends almost vertically into the sea, while the eastern side has gentler slopes that lead to a high coast of black lava rock, at the base of which you’ll find pebble beaches with residential centers behind them. Towards the southeast, near Punta Milazzese, you’ll discover the remnants of a prehistoric village overlooking the stunning bay of Cala Junco.
Nowadays, it is often referred to as “the island of Vip” due to the numerous famous people who have chosen it as their holiday destination.
