Panarea
The small pearl of the Aeolian Islands
Is the smallest and the lowest of the Aeolian islands. The highest point is Timpone del Corvo, at an altitude of 421 metres.
Together with Basiluzzo, Spinazzola, Lisca Bianca, Dattilo, Bottaro, Lisca Nera, the Panarelli and the Formiche rocks, it forms a small archipelago that lies approximately mid-way between Lipari and Stromboli.
Panarea is covered in Mediterranean maquis vegetation, rich in prickly pear, agave, genista and capers, and with numerous century-old olive trees.
The crystal-clear seas boast endless nuances of colour.
