The Aeolian islands and Volcano particularly, offer a great variety of flora and fauna, which attract international tourism offering high quality standard hotel facilities to visitors (hotels,guesthouses and residences) coupled with the hearty welcome of Sicilians. The island of Vulcano is the nearest to the port of Milazzo and it can be rapidly reached by ferryboats and hydrofoils.
The trading centre of Vulcano is daily visited by thousands of tourists, who can find everything: from fashionable shops to typical sicilian products, among them Malvasia and capers.
Not far from the La Giara guesthouse-residence stands the mud pool for thermal cures (indicated for illnesses to the respiratory tracts, rheumatisms, arthroses and dermatological problems) and right next to the beach , where it is possible to bathe almost all year round, thanks to the hot water springs.
In order to offer the highest relaxation for its guests, La Giara has drawn up an agreement for the access to the geothermal pools. (Marotta's)
