PANAREA
THE HISTORY :
it's the smallest of the group, 3.4 kmq, and the geological eldest; the isle is on the top of a magma basin that still feeds fumaroles and thermal springs. It was called Eu nymos (the isle of the good temper), and then Hycesia. There are many interesting little satellite isles aroud it: Dattilo, Basiluzzo, Bottaro, Spinazzola etc. It's 40 miles to Milazzo.
You can also find a prehistorical site, in Capo Milazzese, dated the middle bronze era.
