Boat Trips: To the western coast, very interesting for its wild aspect.

Alicudi, the ancient Ericusa, name due to the bushes of heather of which a large part of the island is covered. The island is made up of a stratum-complex volcano.
In its South-West part it is covered with some small volcanoes with cupolas of stagnation.
There are neither endogenous phenomena at Alicudi nor traces of recent activity. Alicudi has a sub-conical form culminating with filo dell'Arpa or Timpone of the Montagnola (662 m). The Western slope of the island is steep and uninhabited; the Eastern solpe is comprised of terraces and dotted with houses amongst which emerges in a picturesque position, the Church of S. Bartolomeo.

The Serro della Farcona is characteristic, encircled by high precipices and Timpone delle Femmine, situated also in an inaccessible position; here the women took refuge during the Saracen invasions.

Sailing round the island one proceeds in a continuous variation of beautiful panorama: one admires terraced slopes covered by bushes and prickly pear, high coasts with stratifications of black rock and reddish conglomerate; narrow ravines, large confluent valleys and a succession of high sombre precipices which confer on the countryside an imprint of unforgettable majesty. An habitation of the initial phases of the culture of Capo Graziano (XVII-XVI century B.C.) should have been situated near the Port, in locality Pantalucci, as far as the tower of the locality Fucile. Ceramic fragments of Roman age are scattered over the eastern coast of the island.
