Introduction
Aeolian islands,
great for trekking wintertime
INTRODUCTION
Do you want to burn fat? You probably know that walking is the best for that. Running especially on asphalt and concrete,is bad for your ligaments, cykling is better but these burn, first of all, blood sugar.
The Aeolian islands, especcially Lipari and Salina, are great for trekking and long walks, that during autumn and spring. Also wintertime, from December to March are good time for walks maybe with umbrella or water resistant and wind protecting clothes
Winter bath.
You can also take refreshing baths wintertime. The lowest water temperature is 13 celsius in February (Source: Aldo Cicala). But 2021, I took a bath February 13 (!) in Valle Muria on the west side, enjoying the view of Etna erupting. 18 celsius in the water. It was incredible.
I use to take a New Years Eve bath on the west coast of Lipari if it is sunny and not to much wind.

1. Kaolin – Punta Palmeto – Calogero.
Raymond writes in its pdf;
“trail in good condition. The stretch between the Kaolin Caves and the thermal baths is perhaps the most evocative of the whole island. From the west coast you can admire the vastness of the panorama and enjoy the unique silence immersed in rich nature.
The path takes you to Punta Palmeto and from there you can reach San Calogero or the village of Quattropani.
We didn’t went down in that occasion but I have done it several times with the Greens Eolie trekking group 2020-2024.
walking dows you arrive at Punta Palmeto.

The wall can still be seen during a disc in 2019 that can be seen at a higher point.
Large part of the wall is affected by the erosion which caused the stone to fall.
