History
The Aeolian Islands formed from successive volcanic eruptions over millennia; inhabitants traded obsidian in antiquity and later adapted to island fishing and maritime trade.
Conservation
These islands are part of a protected marine and volcanic area—stay on marked paths, avoid collecting volcanic rock and limit light and noise when viewing volcanic activity to reduce impact.

Take seasickness prevention
If you get motion-sick, take or apply medication at least 30–60 minutes before departure and choose a midship seat for the steadiest ride.
Bring a headlamp or phone light
Nighttime viewing on Stromboli and walkways back to the pier can be dim; a small light makes footing safer without disturbing others.
Wear grippy shoes
Cobbled streets and pumice beaches can be slippery—sturdy sandals or light hikers will keep you stable ashore.
Carry small cash
Many island cafés and artisanal stalls prefer cash for quick purchases and tips for local guides.
Sturdy walking sandals or light hiking shoes
Good traction for cobbles, volcanic sand and short island hikes.
