From scorching sands to dormant volcanoes, Monte Epomeo embodies the island’s untamed spirit. Its trails, infused with the aromatic scents of Mediterranean scrub, can be explored with the guidance of expert environmental guides, who craft unique itineraries for nature and volcanic landscape enthusiasts.

The climb to Monte Epomeo’s breathtaking summit offers panoramic views of the island but is quite challenging, making it best suited for experienced hikers. Along the way, stops are planned to explore the local vegetation, tuff-stone dwellings, and the historic Church of San Nicola, perched at the peak.

For those seeking a less demanding experience, a shorter route allows for an equally stunning immersion in nature. A truly one-of-a-kind experience awaits with sand cooking, an age-old ritual where eggs and vegetables are slow-cooked beneath the hot sand—an unforgettable way to savor the island’s flavors, just steps from the sea.
