No Experience Required

You step out of the cable car and the caldera greets you: a sheer cliff, whitewashed houses clinging to volcanic rock, and the sea so blue it looks like a deliberate stage set. The guide waits with a name sign at the top of the station, and within minutes you’re on a narrow rim path that threads past blue-domed chapels, bougainvillea spilling over stone walls, and the famous Three Bells of Firostefani ringing in the wind.
