Fodor's Expert Review Spiaggia delle Acque Calde

From the port of Levante, walk five minutes in the direction of Porto di Ponente, past the stone tinged yellow with sulfur that radiates constant heat. Or really just follow your nose as the natural hot springs of Vulcano have a very distinctive odor. Once you arrive at this little stretch of beach, you'll notice the water gurgling in pockets at the edges, creating natural rock-enclosed hot tubs. As of 2022, the official fanghi (mud bath) experience remains under construction as they work to make the pools more accessible. But you can still get in the waters along the beach to feel the hot vents pushing through the water as natural hot springs.
