Panarea

Panarea is an island which is very suitable for lovers of diving who can rely on the local diving centres to find very interesting dives. Worth visiting is the Spinazzola Rock, La nave rock and the Lanishen shipwreck, an English merchant ship that sunk in the 1900’s after hitting the rocks of Lisca Nera. The wreck lies at a depth of about 30-40 metres in navigation position, so that it is easily visible in its entirety before the dive. The most complete part of the shipwreck is the stern, where the ship wheel and the propeller can be perfectly distinguished, although it’s partly covered with sand. The wreckage is inhabited by groupers, bream, moray eels, damselfish and starfish.
The group of small islands and rocks surrounding Panarea has a special charm: Basiluzzo, Bottaro, Dattilo, Lisca Bianca, Lisca Nera.

In Panarea, there is also an intense activity of underwater fumaroles. This phenomenon is due to the emission of volcanic gasses that push the Earth’s crust. They are common in all volcanic areas and in the Aeolian Islands there are many of them everywhere. It is easy to observe them closely.

To make even a trip to the prehistoric village of Capo Milazzo.
