The Aeolian Archipelago is a centre of
attraction not only for the variety of its
natural beauties, but also for its hot springs of high therapeutic value. Such
post-volcanic manifestations are encountered at Vulcano, Lipari and
Panarea. At Lipari only there are Spa
Baths (S. Calogero) now being restored;
Vulcano should deserve to be supplied
with modern equipments, withouth
modifying the environment.
So far the waters and mud, exploited
with primeval systems,have always
given excellent results. As well as for articulation affections, the waters and
mud of Vulcano prove most effective for
neuralgia and neurites, affections of circulation, flebitis and varicose ulcers,
diseases of the female genital organs
and for dermatological affections.
For Vulcano, being a matter of natural
volcanic mud with a high radon content
and also hot springs, the criterium of
choice from the point of view of the healing activity can be considered
exclusive.
The hot springs of S. Calogero, famous
also during the Roman Empire, as we
are told by Diodoro Siculo, have been exalted at all times. Pirro, Chirone,
Corti,
Strazzulla, Mercalli and others have
dealt with them in their writings and all
have agreed in classifying them
amongst the best in Italy.
They are salty-sulphate-bicarbonate-sodium-hyperthermal (60° C).
In addition these waters have been
prescribed and commended by High
Authorityes of Medical science such as
Cardarelli, Tomaselli, Paolucci and D'Arrigo. But the best proof of their
exceptional value is supplied each year by the
immediate cure of invalids who before
experimenting the Aeolian waters had
tried in vain other hot spring installations.
At Aeolian Islands, there is tourist accommodation available in hotels, farm holiday, farmhouse, residence self-catering accommodation, b&b, rooms for rent, holiday homes, camp sites and tourist villages.
