Actually there's not much there apart from the volcano. We were stormbound there for a week. There's an excellent volcano museum in the village perched on the rim.

The Aeolians Isles are much nicer. Particularly Salina: no volcano, but a great harbour, good walks, and excellent wine - which they don't export.
