If you are wondering whether, in order to find pristine islands and destinations where you can get away from the hustle and bustle, it is mandatory to leave Italy, you should know that no, even our country offers locations that are striking to say the least and remote enough to attract you. As in the case of two small islands that are part of the archipelago of the Aeolian Islands, seven islands of volcanic origin declared UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Let’s talk specifically about Filicudi and Alicudi, the two least populated and westernmost unspoiled islands of the Aeolian Islands, where nature reigns supreme and where, needless to say, no motor vehicles are allowed. Here, in fact, one is only allowed to get around by boat, on foot or by mule. Alicudi, then, which has about 80 inhabitants, does not even have real roads but only a’endless number of steps that connect the various areas of the small island. On Filicudi, however, it is the seabed that enchants those who venture there, and its sea caves, such as the Scoglio della Fortuna and the Grotta del Bue.
