What this video covers

Vulcano, the southernmost island of the Aeolian archipelago, offers diverse anchorages and volcanic terrain for cruisers departing from Portorosa, Sicily.0:06 A two-and-a-half-hour passage on a Lagoon 50 leads to Baia di Levante, a well-protected anchorage despite its low isthmus, though vessels must anchor near the beach to leave the center clear for passing traffic.1:06 Cala di Ponente, located on the west side, provides a sandy bottom with depths of 5 meters, serving as a reliable alternative when easterly winds affect the eastern side of the island.7:03 Further south, Cala Gelso features a terraced seabed that drops off quickly, requiring careful anchoring near the shore; it remains exposed to Grecale and Scirocco winds.26:38 Ashore, the island features hiking trails to the volcanic crater, sulfurous mud baths, and local dining options like Trattoria da Pina.17:09 Visitors should note that local rental cars may have mechanical inconsistencies, and seasonal tourist boat traffic can be heavy in smaller coves.20:32
