Hiking
An excellent point from which you can observe the symbol of this island, the volcano.

At a height of 481 m on Monte Saraceno, there is a gigantic panoramic view of the younger Fossa (391 m), surrounded by the old volcanic base of the island of Vulcano, as well as the island of Lipari and, in clear weather, as far as Salina.
Most hikers (99%) climb the Fossa to see the fumaroles and look down on the crater. Alternatively, you can simply look at the fumaroles at the harbor and then admire the overall scenery on Monte Saraceno. (The fumaroles of the Fossa cannot be seen from the summit.)
