From series “15 Sparsely Populated Places for Solitude with Wildlife”
Filicudi Island is a great example of an isolated vacation. There you can escape from the city noise and unwilling thoughts. This 9,5 square kilometers long Italian island has population for more than 230 people. There you can see several small villages but the main value of this place is a wonderful nature. Since 1997 almost all territory became a nature reserve, where various excursions are held.
Apart from nature beauties the island has a great archaeological meaning. During the researching, there were found traces from Greek, Roman and Byzantine settlements. Travelers don’t visit this island because it almost doesn’t have beaches suited for swimming. The rocky shore of the island isn’t a right place for vacationists. However, there are some nice shingle beaches.
