Prehistoric Village

TIME : 2016/2/18 20:59:38

Follow the main road 10 minutes southeast of the port towards Capo Graziano, where a marked trail branches east to this smattering of Bronze Age huts on a terraced hillside. Discovered in 1952, they date to 1800 BC, four hundred years before Panarea's Punta Milazzese. Though poorly maintained, it remains an evocative spot, with lovely sea and island views.

From the village you can descend to Filicudi's only real beach, a stony affair that offers the easiest swimming on the island – if you want to take a dip elsewhere, you'll have to clamber down some jagged rocks or rent a boat.
