Alicudi e Filicudi

History

Phoenicusa anciently called because covered with ferns, Filicudi is accessible from the harbor to the east or from the village of pecorino cheese, on the southern side where there is a pier. The major sites can be discovered only with the navigation: the tall rock "the rod", and the islets of Montenassari Giafante, the pitfalls of fortune and the striking large cave of Bue Marino.

Even more silent and less accessible, and therefore generally excluded from the routes, and Alicudi, where docking has recently been facilitated by docking, Palomba. Lovely contrast between the land and the blue sea that surrounds it.

ALICUDI SEA

Navigating the rock Palomba north you go near the sandy beach of Pantalucci (beach shelter for fishermen), topped by the houses of Alicudi Port and can be glimpsed above the tip of the gun. Later you notice the terracing rich Mediterranean vegetation. Beyond the scale of sea opens the valley of the church on top of which is the church of San Bartolo.

Then comes the Princhitedda dominated by the castle. Pass the tip of Scuogghiazzo is known as the coast becomes more flat with a few scattered houses. Beyond the floor of the valley of Bazzini find Mancuso. From here on the island is shown in its most wild and rugged with high cliffs overlooking the sea. We also see some short stretch with small terraces abandoned.

After rounding the tip of Malopasso the coast and the signal is above the sea, at Punta Galera rock plunges into the sea for a while remaining on the surface of water. Left climbing un'irta sciara you arrive at the cave of Water. Proceeding meets the Grottazzo, situated on the cliff above the sea. Below it buttocks Smooth, natural pools carved into the rock.

We reach the end of the cliffs at the tip of the Sciara, and at the end of the ski at the tip of Roccazzo. Skirting the southern section is known as as increases are less steep and the presence of terraces, after the valley of Master John met the sea cave of Palomba and Scario after the tip of the old man passes by the rock of Perciato (characteristic for its natural arch) and finally we reach the rock of Palomba.

FILICUDI SEA

From the port of Filicudi you notice that moving the coast becomes steep immediately observing the wall of wires broken by the Walloon Sciacca Blackwater Valley and overlooked by the Church and the Church of St. Stephen. Continuing along the coast becomes less steep as it is dominated by terraces and rich in natural vegetation, then return highly offs to Punta la Zotta.

Arriving in Punta pumpkin Grande do notice the volcanic nature of the land, passed the Filo del Banco, Giafante meets the reef and the Punta Zotta full of small caves. Going forward, the footprint of getting high and rich coast outline of terraces, the sea is strewn with rocks like the rock of Fortune, Montenassari, cane, it consists of layers of lava beautiful. After rounding this point because the coast is rugged again points out the Bue Marino cave, inside you can appreciate great play of light. This leads then to Punta Stimpagnato and exceeded the coast is still very steep slopes and lava, stands Sciara Ranni, then soften the coast along the slopes of Montagnola until reaching Pecorini a Mare, peaceful fishing place. Then the coast along the thread of Loran continued high until the Port Plan, a flat isthmus that connects M. Montagnola guard at Cape Graziano, then the coast is divided into several "points" formed by the sea. It riapproda finally in the bay of Porto Filicud.
