 |
Proceeding midst a jumble of colours, with scenes of incomparable beauty and conflicting contrast. Islands wild in aspect, coasts-lines painted in dismal colours, that fall down to the sea, offering visions of beautiful slopes, desert zones, bleak and bare, but then reach out tu embrace neibouring gardens full of colourThen we see mountains the colour of rust, then more, white, the colour of snow.
There are beaches black as ebany, of vulcanic sand. White sandy beaches also, forming a wonderful
contrast.
Inaccessible inlets follow the coastline then in antithesis change into low and pleasant coves
which stand out vigorously against the skyline, whilst others lie low, or just slightly ondulated..
Besides similar contrasts other peculiarities make the entire archipelago interesting.
Cliffs where nature has enjoyed creating strange figures. Human giants; strange profiles: Rocks
pierced, to areate bridges and hanging arches rocks that push from the lower part toward the tall
one forming agile steeples and obelisks. There are blu caves of a type named "partenopeo"
pictoresque inlets forming calm recesses: tortuos, narrow vallys cut between high vertical walls.
Enormous steps cut in the rock, ciclopic ramparts that precipitate, offering scenary which seems
crated by the fantasy of Dorč.
Zones of sea in ebolition (caused by fumarole submarine) extended in all directions, dressed in
all the colours of the rainbow. Due to the exhalations of fumarole subaeree.
Rocks with a net-work of fissures from which hot waters gushes: mountains of savage forms which
shoot lapilli and burning cinders into the sky.
Steep slopes ploughed by streams of fire.
Anyone who visits the kingdom of Eolo and Vulcano feel spell-bound, having fallen into a world
"sui generis" created by the immagination of Dante or Ariosto.
All this, and more with Eolian Tourist srl.
