Panarea

PANAREA: At only 3.4 square kilometres, Panarea is the smallest island however the most rocky with the most coves. The island was once known as "Euonymos" meaning "the one on the left" referring to its location relative to Lipari, heading south towards Sicily. The island was populated since the Neolithic era where ruins are still evident in the prehistoric village on the "Milazzese" promontory. From the promontory you can admire splendid views over "Cala Junco" bay; a natural pool with turquoise clear waters. The island is composed of three towns: Drauto, Ditella and San Pietro, and is easily the most exclusive and fashionable of the group. Its pretty lanes with contrasted whitewashed houses and brightly coloured flowers and greenery, the large seaview terraces and unique atmosphere have made the island a top holiday destination.
