The Aeolian Islands... Filicudi

Filicudi, known in ancient times as Phoenicusa (the Island of ferns), is the oldest of the Aeolian Islands. The “Fossa delle Felci”, is its highest point at 773 m. It is very interesting from an archaeological point of view:

the two most important ancient settlements (“piano del porto” and “Capo Graziano”) date back to the Bronze Age.
The “Bue Marino” grotto is impressive, and not far away you can admire the tall rock called “Canna”, which is an excellent place for scuba diving as the sea around it is rich in coral, sponges and lobster.

The most beautiful panoramic point is that of Perciato, from which you can admire a series of natural rock formations. Monk seals were present here up to 1937.
Today, especially on the northern side, there is a colony of Eleonora’s Falcons.
