Hala says
A steep 45-minute hike up the rim of Vulcano's main crater, climbing through coloured sulphur deposits to a 360° view across to Lipari and Salina. The mud baths at the foot of the volcano (Pozza dei Fanghi) are the other draw: sulphurous, smelly, and long claimed to fix every skin condition. Closed for a year after 2021 gas-vent issues, now reopened. Bring water and an old swimsuit; the sulphur stains.
