Panarea Panarea Beaches And Excursions, Italy

Cala Junco and the prehistoric village of Punta Milazzese.

Following a narrow road you arrive at beautiful beach of Cala degli Zimmari, always packed in summer. From here, a path with steps leads to the promontory of Capo Milazzese. On the right of the promontory, Cala Junco is hidden, the most beautiful and attractive inlet of Panarea: it is a natural pool formed in the basalt reefs, in which green, blue and the turquoise always show in a prismatic combination.

Don't miss the ruins of the prehistoric village. There are 23 oval stone huts dating back to the Bronze Age (1400 B.C.). The place chosen by this community has no equal: it is truly a natural impenetrable fortress.

Excursions by boat from Panarea

Every day, in the port of San Pietro you will find local fishermen who will take you on their boats to visit the archipelago of islets in front of the port.

• Lisca Bianca is called this for the light color of the rock, due to the millennial activity of the Fumaroles. The fumaroles are still active today in the area between Dattilo, Bottaro and Lisca Bianca, at 20 meters in depth.
• Dattilo is in the shape of a pyramid and has cavern with sulfur and crystalline alum.
• The island of Basiluzzo is the furthest from Panarea, a great volcanic reef with rocky walls at the point of the sea on which are noted the stratifications of the various lava drips. Viewed from the sea, it has a sinister aspect, but actually in the past the island was cultivated and suited for grazing, and was certainly inhabited, as the ruins of a Roman villa attest… perhaps of the first VIP who had ever chosen Panarea as his summer dwelling.
